Why people choose RashScan over Rash ID

  • No account, ever. No name, no email, no password. Scans are tied to a random device ID that you can clear at any time.
  • Pay once if you only need one answer. The scan is free. If you want the full report, you can unlock it for that one scan, with no subscription to remember to cancel.
  • Use it however you like. RashScan runs in any browser, on iPhone, Android or a laptop, and there is an iPhone app too. Start on whatever is in your hand.
  • A complete rash report. Not just a name: the most likely condition with a confidence score, how serious it looks, a treatment plan, how long it usually takes to heal, and the warning signs that mean you should see a doctor.
  • About 60 seconds from photo to report.

What Rash ID does differently

  • App only. Every scan button on Rash ID's website leads to the App Store or Google Play. There is no browser scanner.
  • Account and email. Rash ID's privacy policy says it collects your first name and email for an account.
  • Subscription first. It starts with a 3-day free trial of Pro, then renews automatically.
  • Extras for regular users: an AI chat assistant called MUM, camera coaching while you take the photo, and scan history.

Price, in plain numbers

Rash ID: free to download with a 3-day free trial of Pro. The US App Store lists subscriptions of $4.99 and $6.99 a week, $14.99 a month and $79.99 a year, renewing automatically.

RashScan: scanning is free. The full report for one scan is a one-time unlock, with no subscription. RashScan Pro ($29.99 a month on the web) gives unlimited full reports. The iPhone app offers in-app subscriptions.

Which one should you use?

If you have a rash now and want to know what it probably is, how serious it looks and what to do, without creating an account or starting a trial, use RashScan. It works in your browser and on iPhone.

If you want a subscription app with a chat assistant you will use regularly, Rash ID is built around that. Whatever tool you use, a rash with fever, blistering, fast spreading or swelling of the face needs a doctor, not an app.
