# Mobile Inventory vs DataScan

The clearest difference is rating: Mobile Inventory at 4.5 against DataScan's 1.0. Mobile Inventory also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks) and ratings volume (21 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Inventory sells 20 in-app purchases, starting at $4.49 per month and DataScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile Inventory holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Inventory has 21 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

Mobile Inventory ships an update weekly, DataScan every 4 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 27, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
