# Silver Hallmarks vs Silver Scanner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Silver Scanner at 100% against Silver Hallmarks's 31%. Silver Scanner also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.9). Silver Hallmarks's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 6) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Silver Hallmarks sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Silver Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Silver Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Silver Hallmarks has 121 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 31% of Silver Hallmarks's written reviews are positive against 100% of Silver Scanner's.
