# Inventory Control with Scanner vs E Stock

The clearest difference is review sentiment: E Stock at 100% against Inventory Control with Scanner's 46%. Inventory Control with Scanner's advantage is rating (4.4 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (609 vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Inventory Control with Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $12.99 per month and E Stock sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $17.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Inventory Control with Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Inventory Control with Scanner has 609 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 46% of Inventory Control with Scanner's written reviews are positive against 100% of E Stock's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 21, 2026 respectively.
