What PhilSnap does well
- The highest-rated dedicated stamp scanner in this comparison — 4.7 stars across 1,872 ratings.
- Its listing emphasizes condition-based price ranges and grading tips, a genuinely useful framing.
What to weigh before subscribing
- Its public In-App Purchases list shows two 'PhilSnap Premium' prices ($3.99 and $39.99) without stating the billing periods — check the paywall carefully before subscribing.
- If the $39.99 tier is the annual plan, it is more than twice Stampo's $14.99 annual price.
- Needs iOS 16 or later; English only.
How Stampo is different
- One honest price. Stampo has a single Annual Subscription at $14.99/year — no weekly plan that quietly compounds to hundreds of dollars, no overlapping tiers to decode on a paywall.
- Honest value estimates. Most stamps are genuinely worth very little — and Stampo says so. Values are shown as condition-tiered ranges, the same expectation-setting approach as our published stamp value guides, which cite real catalog and auction sources.
- Full identification, not just a name. Country, year, denomination and catalog number from one photo, plus a collection catalog to keep what you scan.
- The honest trade-off: Stampo launched in June 2026, so it has no public rating history yet. If a long track record matters most to you today, PhilSnap's 1,872 ratings are a real signal — try Stampo free and judge the results yourself.
Which should you choose?
Choose PhilSnap if a large existing rating history is what you trust most — it's the highest-rated dedicated stamp scanner we compared.
Choose Stampo if you want the lowest annual price in this category ($14.99/year), value estimates that level with you about what stamps are really worth, and a catalog-style breakdown (country, year, denomination, catalog number) from every scan.
