# Moxtopper vs MTG Scanner

The clearest difference is update cadence: MTG Scanner at every 10 days against Moxtopper's every 3 months. MTG Scanner also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Moxtopper's advantage is review sentiment (88% vs 68%) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 131). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Moxtopper sells 2 one-off in-app purchases and MTG Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 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 — 4.6 for Moxtopper against 4.5 for MTG Scanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Moxtopper has 1.1K ratings behind it against 131, so its average is the more settled of the two.
