Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Turntable Speed at none against Record Scanner's 6. Record Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 8 months). On price, rating, review sentiment and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Record Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Record Scanner has 2.1K ratings behind it against 56, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 87% of Record Scanner's written reviews are positive against 92% of Turntable Speed's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Record Scanner ships an update fortnightly, Turntable Speed every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
