Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Text Extract(文字提取) at none against Expert Scan's shown. Text Extract(文字提取) also leads on review sentiment (79% vs 60%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18). Expert Scan's advantage is update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 weeks) and rating (4.6 vs 4.4). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
