# ScanX vs Hidden Camera Detector

The clearest difference is rating: Hidden Camera Detector at 5.0 against ScanX's 4.5. Hidden Camera Detector also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 10 days). ScanX's advantage is ratings volume (8 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScanX sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days and Hidden Camera Detector sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Hidden Camera Detector holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: ScanX has 8 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

ScanX ships an update every 10 days, Hidden Camera Detector every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 8, 2026 respectively.
