# Tiny Scanner vs Signature

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Scanner at 91% against Signature's 11%. Tiny Scanner also leads on ratings volume (182K vs 2.6K) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 weeks). Signature's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Scanner sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and Signature sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per year. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Scanner has 182K ratings behind it against 2.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 91% of Tiny Scanner's written reviews are positive against 11% of Signature's.

Tiny Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, Signature every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
