What PhilSnap does well

  • The highest-rated dedicated stamp scanner in this comparison — 4.7 stars across 2,257 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 showed 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.
  • Its last listed update was April 2026, the longest gap of any actively-sold app here.

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 2,257 ratings are a real signal — try Stampo free and judge the results yourself.

Which should you choose?

Choose PhilSnap if a strong star rating is what you trust most — at 4.7 it is the highest-rated dedicated stamp scanner we compared, on a solid base of 2,257 ratings, and Stampo has no public rating at all yet.

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.
