The Argon Augmented Reality Browser was the worlds first Augmented Reality browser based on open web standards. Argon4 is the next step in the revolution started by Argon and continued by Argon2 Isotope and Argon3, seamlessly integrating advanced AR technology with iOS web technology. Argon4 enables traditional web developers to create augmented reality applications that combine the iOS device hardware sensors with computer vision tracking technology, making it simple to move the Internet off your desktop and into the world around you. Argon4 delivers AR experiences exactly the same way traditional web experiences are delivered, by entering a URL into the address bar. Web applications for Argon4 are created using the argon.js javascript library. Visit the Argon developer site to see how to create your own AR-enabled web site. Documentation and tutorials for creating AR-enabled web content for Argon can be found on http://argonjs.io, the developer site for the argon.js library used to create platform-independent AR web content. *** For best results we recommend an iPhone5s or later. Argon4 leverages a variety of iOS device sensors including the camera, gyroscopes, compass, and accelerometers. Following the same development model as a traditional web browser, Argon4 is designed to allow rapid development and deployment of Web 2.0 style AR content. Argon4 exposes a suite of Javascript APIs into iOSs built-in web renderer, allowing developers to define a channel of augmented reality content delivered from a standard web server. This powerful combination allows easy authoring and hosting of interactive AR content, with complete control over the presentation and interactivity experienced by the user. Augmented reality experiences can be designed using existing web technologies, including WebGL, HTML, CSS and JavaScript. Just about anything that can be presented in the iPhone's Safari web browser can be pushed out into 3D in the world around the user
CadnaR.scan

With CadnaR.scan, you can quickly create a digital room model of your surroundings. The model can then be imported into CadnaR for further acoustical processing. Main functions at a glance: ROOM CAPTURE (LiDAR sensor required) - Augmented reality-based scanning of floor plans for iPhone and iPad*: Quickly create simplified 3D scans of rooms and entire floors, including walls, built-in wall elements, and objects in the room. - Real-time feedback: The intelligent dollhouse visualization at the bottom of the application shows the progress of the scan during room capture. This way, you can always keep track of captured objects. *Scanning rooms requires a device with a LiDAR sensor and at least iOS 16. If these requirements are not met, features such as 3D editing and sharing of imported scans are available. MANAGE SCANS - Keep track of your room scans using the clear list view. Here you can share and edit files, as well as switch to the detailed view of the selected 3D scan with a simple tap of your finger. 3D VIEW - Navigate through your room virtually in the 3D view, make changes as needed with basic editing tools, and share your planning directly from this view – without detours. SHARE/EXPORT ROOM SCANS - Share 3D scans selectively: Decide what should be exported – only the architecture or the entire scan? - The export format (.EOX) enables direct further processing in our room acoustics software CadnaR.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Argon4 at 8.0 against CadnaR.scan's 16.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
