Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scan n Go at 88% against YouGov's 41%. Scan n Go also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). YouGov's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (5.8K vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
Scan n Go holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: YouGov has 5.8K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 88% of Scan n Go's written reviews are positive against 41% of YouGov's.
Scan n Go ships an update every 5 months, YouGov fortnightly. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
