Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: scanoma at 4.7 against DermEngine's 3.8. scanoma also leads on ratings volume (1.4K vs 11) and update cadence (fortnightly vs monthly). DermEngine's advantage is review sentiment (68% vs 48%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases). On price, ads, in-app purchases 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.
scanoma holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: scanoma has 1.4K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 68% of DermEngine's written reviews are positive against 48% of scanoma's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
DermEngine ships an update monthly, scanoma fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on September 11, 2026 and September 28, 2026 respectively.
