# MagiScan vs JOYscratch

The clearest difference is price: MagiScan at Free against JOYscratch's $1.99. MagiScan also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 1) and chart position (#143 vs unranked). JOYscratch's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 13). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.

MagiScan is free to download; JOYscratch costs $1.99 up front. MagiScan sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $5.49 per 7 days. JOYscratch asks for nothing beyond the download.

JOYscratch holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MagiScan has 1.4K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
