# MTG Scanner vs Everweave

The clearest difference is ads: MTG Scanner at none against Everweave's shown. MTG Scanner also leads on rating (4.6 vs 4.3). Everweave's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 44%) and chart position (#30 vs #197). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MTG Scanner sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Everweave sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MTG Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 3.8K and 8.6K respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 44% of MTG Scanner's written reviews are positive against 57% of Everweave's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

MTG Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, Everweave every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 20, 2026 respectively.
