# Scanner App vs One Scan

Scanner App and One Scan both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 88% of Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Scanner App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 905). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner App sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and One Scan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. 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 Scanner App against 4.7 for One Scan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: One Scan has 12K ratings behind it against 905, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 88% of Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's.

Scanner App ships an update every 2 weeks, One Scan every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
