Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: GIF Keyboard · Editor · Master at free with in-app purchases against Scan's subscription. GIF Keyboard · Editor · Master also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Scan's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 80%) and update cadence (every 5 days vs fortnightly). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. GIF Keyboard · Editor · Master sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and Scan sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

GIF Keyboard · Editor · Master holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 307 and 243 respectively.
