Verdict
One Scan and Scanner App both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 76% of Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Scanner App also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 26.0). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 191). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
