Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: The Math Solver App at 67% against Math Scanner's 28%. Math Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.2 vs 3.8). On price, ratings volume, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.8. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 455 and 371 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 28% of Math Scanner's written reviews are positive against 67% of The Math Solver App's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
