# Bluetooth Debugger & Inspector vs Bluetooth Scanner

The clearest difference is update cadence: Bluetooth Debugger & Inspector at monthly against Bluetooth Scanner's every 3 months. Bluetooth Debugger & Inspector also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5) and chart position (#99 vs unranked). Bluetooth Scanner's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 83%).

Both are free to download. Bluetooth Debugger & Inspector sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Bluetooth Scanner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bluetooth Debugger & Inspector holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5.
