# Fast Scanner vs Scanner

Fast Scanner and Scanner both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Fast Scanner's written reviews are positive against 49% of Scanner's.

Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Fast Scanner's written reviews are positive against 49% of Scanner's.
