Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Naughty or Nice Test at Free against Santa Scan™'s $0.99. Naughty or Nice Test also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (90 vs 10). Santa Scan™'s advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). On update cadence and device support there is nothing between them.

Naughty or Nice Test holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Naughty or Nice Test has 90 ratings behind it against 10, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Santa Scan™'s written reviews are positive against 86% of Naughty or Nice Test's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Santa Scan™ ships an update every 9 months, Naughty or Nice Test every 11 months. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
