Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScanDoc at 100% against OBDocker's 47%. ScanDoc also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.2) and in-app purchases (none vs 7). OBDocker's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (17 vs 1). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
