Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Fast Scanner at 4.8 against iDocument Scanner's 4.2. Fast Scanner also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 5). iDocument Scanner's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and review sentiment (100% vs 91%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Fast Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Scanner has 6.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Fast Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of iDocument Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Fast Scanner ships an update every 2 months, iDocument Scanner every 3 months. Both last shipped on October 2, 2026.
