Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is monetization model: uScan at free with in-app purchases against PDF Scanner, Editor, Converter's subscription. uScan also leads on review sentiment (47% vs 33%) and chart position (#180 vs unranked). PDF Scanner, Editor, Converter's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 weeks). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
