Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Scaniverse at 4.8 against Membit's 4.3. Scaniverse also leads on ratings volume (12K vs 17) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Membit's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 82%) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Scaniverse holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scaniverse has 12K ratings behind it against 17, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Membit's written reviews are positive against 82% of Scaniverse's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Membit ships an update every 5 weeks, Scaniverse every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
