Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Methode5 at none against Pharmanex Scanner v3's shown. Methode5 also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). Pharmanex Scanner v3's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 16.4). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
