# Mobile Scanner App vs Scan Cam

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Mobile Scanner App at 56K against Scan Cam's 25. Mobile Scanner App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Scanner App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Scan Cam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Scanner App has 56K ratings behind it against 25, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Mobile Scanner App ships an update every 2 weeks, Scan Cam every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 26, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
