# Omniscient vs BIM Scanner

The clearest difference is rating: BIM Scanner at 5.0 against Omniscient's 4.5. Omniscient's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 3 weeks) and ratings volume (78 vs 2). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Omniscient sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days and BIM Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BIM Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Omniscient has 78 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 92% of Omniscient's written reviews are positive against 100% of BIM Scanner's.

Omniscient ships an update every 2 days, BIM Scanner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 4, 2026 respectively.
