# Scoot Mobile vs Explorer.id

The clearest difference is rating: Scoot Mobile at 4.5 against Explorer.id's 3.0. Scoot Mobile also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (2.9K vs 2). Explorer.id's advantage is review sentiment (38% vs 22%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

Scoot Mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scoot Mobile has 2.9K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 22% of Scoot Mobile's written reviews are positive against 38% of Explorer.id's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Scoot Mobile ships an update fortnightly, Explorer.id every 5 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 17, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
