# noteE vs ScanBig

The clearest difference is rating: ScanBig at 5.0 against noteE's 4.3. ScanBig also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). noteE's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (11 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. noteE sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and ScanBig sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScanBig holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: noteE has 11 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

noteE ships an update every 9 days, ScanBig fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on August 8, 2026 and September 11, 2026 respectively.
