# LiveUp vs ScanBox

The clearest difference is rating: ScanBox at 5.0 against LiveUp's 4.7. ScanBox also leads on review sentiment (89% vs 80%) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). LiveUp's advantage is ratings volume (21 vs 4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. LiveUp sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ScanBox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ScanBox holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: LiveUp has 21 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 80% of LiveUp's written reviews are positive against 89% of ScanBox's.

LiveUp ships an update every 5 days, ScanBox every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 11, 2026 and October 30, 2026 respectively.
