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.
rooomScan holds the better App Store score, 2.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Room Capture has 5 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 40% of Room Capture's written reviews are positive against 14% of rooomScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Room Capture ships an update every 4 months, rooomScan every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 12, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
