Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: One Scan at 4.7 against ScanMaster's 2.7. One Scan also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 148). ScanMaster's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26.0). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
