Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: scanner app pro at 100% against CastOn's 37%. scanner app pro also leads on ads (none vs shown).

Both are free to download. CastOn sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and scanner app pro sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

CastOn holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: CastOn has 5.1K ratings behind it against 18, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 37% of CastOn's written reviews are positive against 100% of scanner app pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

CastOn ships an update every 3 weeks, scanner app pro fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 8, 2026 respectively.
