Verdict

The call

xScan and OneScanner both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of OneScanner's written reviews are positive against 42% of xScan's. OneScanner also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). xScan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (31K vs 16). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
