Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Tessaract at none against Safe Scanner's 1. Tessaract also leads on iOS requirement (13.4 vs 15.6). Safe Scanner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 5 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
