Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: DataLock Admin at none against Search Scanner's shown. DataLock Admin also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). Search Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
