# AnyScanner vs DocScan

The clearest difference is rating: DocScan at 5.0 against AnyScanner's 4.2. AnyScanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (15 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AnyScanner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and DocScan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

DocScan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: AnyScanner has 15 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

AnyScanner ships an update every 2 weeks, DocScan every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 2, 2026 respectively.
