# PokeScan vs Digital Grading Co

The clearest difference is rating: Digital Grading Co at 4.6 against PokeScan's 3.0. Digital Grading Co also leads on ratings volume (3K vs 29) and chart position (#86 vs unranked). PokeScan's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 21) and ads (none vs shown). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Digital Grading Co sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. PokeScan asks for nothing beyond the download.

Digital Grading Co holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Digital Grading Co has 3K ratings behind it against 29, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of PokeScan's written reviews are positive against 27% of Digital Grading Co's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
