Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scanner PDF at 4.6 against ScanMaster's 2.7. Scanner PDF also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (20K vs 148). ScanMaster's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 3 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
