# vFlat Scan vs Scanner ㅤ

The clearest difference is ratings volume: vFlat Scan at 6.3K against Scanner ㅤ's 98. vFlat Scan also leads on update cadence (every 11 days vs every 6 weeks). Scanner ㅤ's advantage is iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. vFlat Scan sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Scanner ㅤ sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 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 — 4.8 for vFlat Scan against 4.7 for Scanner ㅤ. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: vFlat Scan has 6.3K ratings behind it against 98, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 79% of vFlat Scan's written reviews are positive against 75% of Scanner ㅤ's.
