# ArmorScan vs Rotproof

The clearest difference is rating: Rotproof at 5.0 against ArmorScan's 4.4. Rotproof also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 19 months) and monetization model (ad-supported vs freemium). ArmorScan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (8 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ArmorScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $8.99 per 7 days and Rotproof sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Rotproof holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ArmorScan has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ArmorScan ships an update every 19 months, Rotproof every 5 days. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 31, 2026 respectively.
