# Cam Scan vs Scan Cam

The clearest difference is rating: Scan Cam at 4.6 against Cam Scan's 4.0. Scan Cam also leads on ratings volume (25 vs 4). Cam Scan's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Cam Scan sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Scan Cam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
