Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: QuickScan at every 2 weeks against Scanner's every 8 months. QuickScan also leads on ratings volume (4.1K vs 13). Scanner's advantage is iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickScan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Scanner sells 3 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for QuickScan against 4.9 for Scanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickScan has 4.1K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 98% of QuickScan's written reviews are positive against 96% of Scanner's.
QuickScan ships an update every 2 weeks, Scanner every 8 months. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
