# Zoho Scanner vs Quick Notes

The clearest difference is rating: Quick Notes at 4.8 against Zoho Scanner's 4.4. Quick Notes also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs fortnightly) and device support (5 vs 2). Zoho Scanner's advantage is iOS requirement (16.6 vs 18.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zoho Scanner sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Quick Notes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Quick Notes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 89 and 299 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Zoho Scanner's written reviews are positive against 77% of Quick Notes's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Zoho Scanner ships an update fortnightly, Quick Notes every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 13, 2026.
