Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Asbury Hills at 4.0 against Scouting's 2.0. Asbury Hills also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 16.4). Scouting's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 11 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
