# AI Scanner vs Document Editor

The clearest difference is review sentiment: AI Scanner at 100% against Document Editor's 26%. AI Scanner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). Document Editor's advantage is ratings volume (304 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and Document Editor sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

AI Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Document Editor has 304 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of AI Scanner's written reviews are positive against 26% of Document Editor's.
