Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: NiceHash at none against IP Scanner's 4. NiceHash also leads on update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and ratings volume (4.6K vs 891). IP Scanner's advantage is review sentiment (60% vs 29%) and device support (6 vs 2). On price, rating and ads there is nothing between them.
