Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Legal Scan at Free against SwiftDocs's $14.99. Legal Scan also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). SwiftDocs's advantage is ratings volume (48 vs 6). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Legal Scan is free to download; SwiftDocs costs $14.99 up front. SwiftDocs sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $7.99 per month and Legal Scan sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Legal Scan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SwiftDocs has 48 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.
