Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: Scanner at free with in-app purchases against ScanMe's subscription. Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (4.8 vs 4.5). ScanMe's advantage is ratings volume (184 vs 4) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ScanMe sells 9 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Scanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScanMe has 184 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two.
ScanMe ships an update every 3 weeks, Scanner every 3 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
