Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: PaperScorer Scanner at none against MarkSheet's 1. PaperScorer Scanner also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). MarkSheet's advantage is review sentiment (57% vs 25%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 5 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

PaperScorer Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MarkSheet has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 57% of MarkSheet's written reviews are positive against 25% of PaperScorer Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

MarkSheet ships an update monthly, PaperScorer Scanner every 5 months. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
