# FreeMaker vs Receipt Scanner

The clearest difference is ratings volume: FreeMaker at 3.8K against Receipt Scanner's 9. FreeMaker also leads on chart position (#74 vs unranked). Receipt Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. FreeMaker sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month and Receipt Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for FreeMaker against 4.9 for Receipt Scanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: FreeMaker has 3.8K ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two.

FreeMaker ships an update every 3 months, Receipt Scanner every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
