# Google Admin vs SMART InkScan

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SMART InkScan at 100% against Google Admin's 11%. SMART InkScan also leads on rating (4.2 vs 1.7) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 17.0). Google Admin's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ratings volume (524 vs 5). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. SMART InkScan sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. Google Admin asks for nothing beyond the download.

SMART InkScan holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 1.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Google Admin has 524 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 11% of Google Admin's written reviews are positive against 100% of SMART InkScan's.
