Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QROX at none against eScanner's 1. QROX also leads on update cadence (every 5 weeks vs every 5 months) and ratings volume (215 vs 20). eScanner's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
