# Scan vs Archive

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scan at none against Archive's 1. Scan also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Archive sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Scan asks for nothing beyond the download.
