Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: DocScan at 5.0 against Paperless Scan's 4.0. DocScan also leads on update cadence (every 7 months vs every 25 months). Paperless Scan's advantage is ratings volume (13 vs 2) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
