# Scanner vs Cloud Storage

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scanner at none against Cloud Storage's 15. Scanner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Cloud Storage's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.7K vs 3). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cloud Storage sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per month. Scanner asks for nothing beyond the download.

Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud Storage has 1.7K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.
