# Atai vs UGScan

The clearest difference is rating: UGScan at 4.6 against Atai's 3.0. UGScan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Atai sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and UGScan sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

UGScan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: UGScan has 16 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 60% of Atai's written reviews are positive against 70% of UGScan's.

Atai ships an update every 2 months, UGScan fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on June 10, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
