Verdict

The call

One Scan and Scanner app both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of Scanner app's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Scanner app also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 18.0). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (12K vs 116). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
