# OCR vs ModBoss

The clearest difference is rating: ModBoss at 5.0 against OCR's 4.8. OCR's advantage is ratings volume (6 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.5). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. OCR sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and ModBoss sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ModBoss holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: OCR has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

OCR ships an update fortnightly, ModBoss every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on August 21, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
