# Meraki vs S/N Scanner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: S/N Scanner at 100% against Meraki's 56%. S/N Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). Meraki's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.4K vs 9). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
