Verdict
The clearest difference is price: ScopeX at Free against Macro Mode's $2.99. ScopeX also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Macro Mode's advantage is chart position (#96 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
