Erkenner

Erkenner helps you to recognize text from picture. Once you get the text, you can search images or translate from the application. When you get a menu in a restaurant in foreign country and you don't have ideas what it is like, you may want to type it in web search to find images, or to translate. This application makes it easy to do it. You just need to take a picture, select the recognized texts, then tap image or translate button.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Plover at none against Erkenner's shown. Erkenner's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
