# Brain Test vs Text Scanner OCR Image to Text

The clearest difference is rating: Brain Test at 4.8 against Text Scanner OCR Image to Text's 4.2. Brain Test also leads on ratings volume (1.5M vs 26) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Brain Test sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Text Scanner OCR Image to Text sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Brain Test holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Brain Test has 1.5M ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Brain Test's written reviews are positive against 67% of Text Scanner OCR Image to Text's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Brain Test ships an update monthly, Text Scanner OCR Image to Text every 3 months. Both last shipped on November 12, 2026.
