ScanCam and Camera Scanner both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 74% of ScanCam's written reviews are positive against 13% of Camera Scanner's. Camera Scanner's advantage is monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 469). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
