# ScanGenie AI vs Scan Cam

The clearest difference is monetization model: Scan Cam at free with in-app purchases against ScanGenie AI's subscription. Scan Cam also leads on ratings volume (25 vs 1) and device support (3 vs 1). ScanGenie AI's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScanGenie AI sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Scan Cam sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScanGenie AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan Cam has 25 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 8, 2026 and September 18, 2026 respectively.
