# Keep Receipt vs Smart Receipt Scan

The clearest difference is monetization model: Keep Receipt at free against Smart Receipt Scan's freemium. Keep Receipt also leads on ratings volume (1.5K vs 64) and rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Smart Receipt Scan's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and review sentiment (82% vs 74%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Keep Receipt sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Smart Receipt Scan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Keep Receipt holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Keep Receipt has 1.5K ratings behind it against 64, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Keep Receipt's written reviews are positive against 82% of Smart Receipt Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Keep Receipt ships an update monthly, Smart Receipt Scan every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
