Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Zettelheld at none against MyScanner's shown. Zettelheld also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 18.6). MyScanner's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). On price, rating, review sentiment and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Zettelheld sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and MyScanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 5.0 for Zettelheld against 5.0 for MyScanner. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: MyScanner has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
Zettelheld ships an update every 2 months, MyScanner every 2 days. The most recent releases landed on September 21, 2026 and September 4, 2026 respectively.
