Verdict

The call

Doc OCR and One Scan both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 85% of Doc OCR's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Doc OCR also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 629). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
