# Tiny Scanner vs ID Scanner Professional

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Tiny Scanner at 91% against ID Scanner Professional's 20%. Tiny Scanner also leads on ratings volume (182K vs 3.2K) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, ads, 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 ID Scanner Professional sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 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 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Tiny Scanner has 182K ratings behind it against 3.2K, 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 20% of ID Scanner Professional's.
