# SnapScan vs Scan It

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SnapScan at 100% against Scan It's 33%. Scan It's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.0) and update cadence (weekly vs every 5 weeks). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SnapScan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and Scan It sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scan It holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan It has 160 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of SnapScan's written reviews are positive against 33% of Scan It's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

SnapScan ships an update every 5 weeks, Scan It weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 19, 2026 respectively.
