# Dog Scan vs Bug IdentifierーIdentify Insect

The clearest difference is rating: Dog Scan at 4.5 against Bug IdentifierーIdentify Insect's 4.0. Dog Scan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 10). Bug IdentifierーIdentify Insect's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 6%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Dog Scan sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Bug IdentifierーIdentify Insect sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Dog Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dog Scan has 1.5K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 6% of Dog Scan's written reviews are positive against 33% of Bug IdentifierーIdentify Insect's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
