Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Qontact (Roaming) at none against Scan Boarding Pass's 1. Qontact (Roaming) also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 9 months). Scan Boarding Pass's advantage is ratings volume (60 vs 1). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.
