Both are free to download. Scan Boss for Dropbox sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Dropbox EMM asks for nothing beyond the download.
Dropbox EMM holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Dropbox EMM has 395 ratings behind it against 55, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 19% of Dropbox EMM's written reviews are positive against 25% of Scan Boss for Dropbox's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
