# Scan vs Gome

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Scan at 100% against Gome's 19%. Scan also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). Gome's advantage is ratings volume (2.7K vs 24) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.49 per year and Gome sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Scan holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Gome has 2.7K ratings behind it against 24, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 100% of Scan's written reviews are positive against 19% of Gome's.

Scan ships an update weekly, Gome every 11 months. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 15, 2026 respectively.
