# Mobile Scanner App vs Notee

The clearest difference is ads: Notee at none against Mobile Scanner App's shown. Notee also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). Mobile Scanner App's advantage is ratings volume (57K vs 4.7K) and review sentiment (80% vs 69%). On price, rating, 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 Notee sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 Notee. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Scanner App has 57K ratings behind it against 4.7K, 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 69% of Notee's.

Mobile Scanner App ships an update fortnightly, Notee weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
