# ID Scan vs Coffee Focus

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Coffee Focus at 100% against ID Scan's 42%. Coffee Focus also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 weeks). ID Scan's advantage is ratings volume (30 vs 4). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ID Scan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and Coffee Focus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Coffee Focus holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ID Scan has 30 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 42% of ID Scan's written reviews are positive against 100% of Coffee Focus's.

ID Scan ships an update every 5 weeks, Coffee Focus every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 28, 2026 respectively.
