Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Bit Box at 5.0 against ScanWow's 4.4. ScanWow's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment, ratings volume and ads there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Bit Box sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ScanWow sells 2 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Bit Box holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 8 and 9 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Bit Box's written reviews are positive against 83% of ScanWow's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Bit Box ships an update every 3 weeks, ScanWow every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
