Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Lidar+ at none against SimpleObjectScan's shown. Lidar+ also leads on iOS requirement (14.3 vs 16.0). SimpleObjectScan's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 66 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
