Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Camera Scanner at none against Doc.Scanner's shown. Camera Scanner also leads on ratings volume (6.4K vs 17) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). Doc.Scanner's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
