# Fast Scanner vs Scanner App

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Fast Scanner at 91% against Scanner App's 31%. Fast Scanner also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (6.1K vs 747). Scanner App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Fast Scanner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and Scanner App sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fast Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Fast Scanner has 6.1K ratings behind it against 747, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Fast Scanner's written reviews are positive against 31% of Scanner App's.

Fast Scanner ships an update every 2 months, Scanner App every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 25, 2026 respectively.
