Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScanCam at 74% against Scanner's 24%. ScanCam also leads on rating (4.4 vs 3.5) and ads (none vs shown). Scanner's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
