Verdict

The call

vFlat Scan and Scanner App both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of vFlat Scan's written reviews are positive against 19% of Scanner App's. vFlat Scan also leads on ratings volume (6.1K vs 307). Scanner App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.2). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
