Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Regula Document Reader at 4.7 against Jumio Showcase's 4.2. Regula Document Reader also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 10) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Regula Document Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Regula Document Reader has 1.4K ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of Jumio Showcase's written reviews are positive against 67% of Regula Document Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Jumio Showcase ships an update every 4 months, Regula Document Reader every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on July 20, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
