# Tiny Scanner vs Receipt Scanner App

The clearest difference is rating: Tiny Scanner at 4.8 against Receipt Scanner App's 3.7. Tiny Scanner also leads on ratings volume (182K vs 3) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). Receipt Scanner App's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, update cadence, 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 Receipt Scanner App sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Tiny Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Scanner has 182K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and June 11, 2026 respectively.
