Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Paper Scraper at none against Aviateur's 13. Paper Scraper also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 87%) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.6). Aviateur's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (106 vs 11). On price, rating, update cadence and monetization model there is nothing between them.
