Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Paperlogix at none against Scan Now's shown. Paperlogix also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1). Scan Now's advantage is review sentiment (89% vs 58%) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
