The clearest difference is rating: Mobile Scanner App at 4.8 against Magic Cleaner's 4.2. Mobile Scanner App also leads on review sentiment (80% vs 59%) and ratings volume (58K vs 1.5K). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Scanner App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and Magic Cleaner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
