Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScanDoc at none against TabPad's 2. ScanDoc also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 15.0). TabPad's advantage is update cadence (every 7 months vs every 28 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On price there is nothing between them.
