Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Dissolve at fortnightly against Scrap Divers's every 2 months. Dissolve also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). Scrap Divers's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.6) and ratings volume (1.3K vs 118). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
