# Tiny Scanner vs OneScanner

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Tiny Scanner at 182K against OneScanner's 16. Tiny Scanner also leads on rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and chart position (#19 vs unranked). OneScanner's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 91%) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Tiny Scanner sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month and OneScanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. 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 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 91% of Tiny Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of OneScanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Tiny Scanner ships an update every 2 weeks, OneScanner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
