# Lens Scan vs Part Identifier Plus

The clearest difference is rating: Lens Scan at 4.6 against Part Identifier Plus's 3.0. Lens Scan also leads on ratings volume (18K vs 2) and chart position (#50 vs unranked). Part Identifier Plus's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 26%) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 10 days). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Lens Scan sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Part Identifier Plus sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Lens Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Lens Scan has 18K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 26% of Lens Scan's written reviews are positive against 50% of Part Identifier Plus's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Lens Scan ships an update every 10 days, Part Identifier Plus every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
