Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Textify at none against Image to Text's shown. Textify also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.5). Image to Text's advantage is update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 4 months) and review sentiment (90% vs 71%). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Textify sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Image to Text sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Textify holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 35 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Textify's written reviews are positive against 90% of Image to Text's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Textify ships an update every 4 months, Image to Text every 4 weeks. Both last shipped on November 3, 2026.
