# Scan vs Unforgetful

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scan at none against Unforgetful's 1. Scan also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Unforgetful's advantage is ratings volume (248 vs 1) and device support (4 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Unforgetful sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $19.99 per year. Scan asks for nothing beyond the download.

Scan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Unforgetful has 248 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
