# Faster Scan vs Scanner App Pro

The clearest difference is price: Faster Scan at Free against Scanner App Pro's $39.99. Faster Scan also leads on ratings volume (2K vs 265). Scanner App Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#153 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Faster Scan is free to download; Scanner App Pro costs $39.99 up front. Faster Scan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Scanner App Pro sells 14 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Faster Scan against 4.8 for Scanner App Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Faster Scan has 2K ratings behind it against 265, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 87% of Faster Scan's written reviews are positive against 84% of Scanner App Pro's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 26, 2026.
