# Bluetooth Scanner vs BLE Debugger

The clearest difference is rating: BLE Debugger at 5.0 against Bluetooth Scanner's 4.5. Bluetooth Scanner's advantage is chart position (#159 vs unranked) and ratings volume (11 vs 2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Bluetooth Scanner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and BLE Debugger sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

BLE Debugger holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Bluetooth Scanner has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.
