Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: ID Verify Scan at every 4 months against ID's every 13 months. ID Verify Scan also leads on ratings volume (81 vs 12) and iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ID Verify Scan sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $9.99 per month and ID sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.4 for ID Verify Scan against 4.5 for ID. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ID Verify Scan has 81 ratings behind it against 12, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 43% of ID Verify Scan's written reviews are positive against 50% of ID's.
ID Verify Scan ships an update every 4 months, ID every 13 months. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and July 8, 2026 respectively.
