# Proactor vs MagicScan AI

The clearest difference is rating: MagicScan AI at 5.0 against Proactor's 4.5. MagicScan AI also leads on ads (none vs shown). Proactor's advantage is ratings volume (214 vs 1) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Proactor sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $14.99 per month and MagicScan AI sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

MagicScan AI holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Proactor has 214 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Proactor ships an update every 2 weeks, MagicScan AI every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 28, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
