Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BrickScan at 4.9 against MOCPilot's 3.0. BrickScan also leads on review sentiment (59% vs 30%) and ratings volume (1.5K vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. MOCPilot sells 8 one-off in-app purchases and BrickScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BrickScan holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BrickScan has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 30% of MOCPilot's written reviews are positive against 59% of BrickScan's.
MOCPilot ships an update every 3 weeks, BrickScan weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 7, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
