Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScanBee at 100% against PDF's 0%. ScanBee also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 110 months). PDF's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
