Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scan at 4.5 against Switch's 3.9. Scan also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). Switch's advantage is ratings volume (22 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
