Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: makeracontroller at 3.5 against Revo Scan's 2.3. makeracontroller also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15). Revo Scan's advantage is update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (18% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
makeracontroller holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Revo Scan has 38 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 18% of Revo Scan's written reviews are positive against 0% of makeracontroller's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Revo Scan ships an update every 6 weeks, makeracontroller every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on October 21, 2026 and October 7, 2026 respectively.
