Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: IP Scanner at 60% against SQL Manager's 0%. IP Scanner also leads on rating (4.6 vs 1.8) and update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). SQL Manager's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
