Comparisons
Every number on these pages comes from Apple's own public API, pulled on 2026-09-06 from the US storefront. We do not estimate ratings and we do not round in our favour.
SwipeScan is our app. It sits in the table with everyone else, including the columns where it loses badly: zero ratings against CamScanner's 1.9 million, and one language against its fifty-seven. A comparison that hid that would not be worth reading, so we did not hide it.
