# Mobile Scanner App vs Scan.Plus

The clearest difference is ads: Scan.Plus at none against Mobile Scanner App's shown. Mobile Scanner App's advantage is ratings volume (58K vs 777) and chart position (#78 vs unranked). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Scanner App sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Scan.Plus sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Mobile Scanner App against 4.8 for Scan.Plus. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Scanner App has 58K ratings behind it against 777, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 80% of Mobile Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 85% of Scan.Plus's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
