Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Hersco at 5.0 against Comb 3D Scanner's 3.5. Hersco also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 4 months). Comb 3D Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
