Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: SuperScan at free with in-app purchases against Scanner PDF's subscription. SuperScan also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and review sentiment (46% vs 32%). Scanner PDF's advantage is ratings volume (20K vs 1.6K). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
