Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: EcoGPT at 4.8 against EcoScan's 3.0. EcoGPT also leads on review sentiment (78% vs 50%) and update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months). EcoScan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
