# Tiny Scanner vs One Scan

Tiny Scanner and One Scan both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Tiny Scanner's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Tiny Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (182K vs 12K). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Scanner sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 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 Tiny Scanner against 4.7 for One Scan. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Scanner has 182K ratings behind it against 12K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 91% of Tiny Scanner's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's.

Tiny Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, One Scan every 2 months. Both last shipped on September 25, 2026.
