Both are free to download. Scan & Translate+ Text Grabber sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Folda sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Folda holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan & Translate+ Text Grabber has 20K ratings behind it against 85, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 48% of Scan & Translate+ Text Grabber's written reviews are positive against 0% of Folda's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Scan & Translate+ Text Grabber ships an update every 3 weeks, Folda monthly. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 2, 2026 respectively.
