# QuickScan vs Meridi

The clearest difference is ratings volume: QuickScan at 4K against Meridi's 1. QuickScan also leads on iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). Meridi's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QuickScan sells 21 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Meridi sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 — 4.9 for QuickScan against 5.0 for Meridi. 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.

QuickScan ships an update fortnightly, Meridi every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 5, 2026 respectively.
