# AI Scanner・Objects Identifier vs Bug Identifier

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Bug Identifier at 100% against AI Scanner・Objects Identifier's 32%. Bug Identifier also leads on rating (4.9 vs 4.2) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). AI Scanner・Objects Identifier's advantage is chart position (#172 vs unranked) and ratings volume (321 vs 40). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. AI Scanner・Objects Identifier sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Bug Identifier sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
