ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Autodesk Fusion holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Autodesk Fusion has 4.1K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 59% of Autodesk Fusion's written reviews are positive against 100% of ToolScanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Autodesk Fusion ships an update monthly, ToolScanner every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 10, 2026 and October 1, 2026 respectively.
