Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scanner at 4.9 against OCR.net's 1.0. Scanner also leads on ratings volume (13 vs 1). OCR.net's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 14.0). On price, ads, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
