# QuickScan vs Text Scanner

The clearest difference is rating: QuickScan at 4.9 against Text Scanner's 1.0. QuickScan also leads on ratings volume (4K vs 1). Text Scanner's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 23) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.4). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickScan sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. Text Scanner asks for nothing beyond the download.

QuickScan holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QuickScan has 4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
