# Sleep Aid vs ScanX

The clearest difference is update cadence: ScanX at every 10 days against Sleep Aid's every 2 months. Sleep Aid's advantage is ratings volume (286 vs 8). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Sleep Aid sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days and ScanX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for Sleep Aid against 4.5 for ScanX. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Sleep Aid has 286 ratings behind it against 8, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Sleep Aid ships an update every 2 months, ScanX every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
