Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sensor settings at none against Scanly's 3. Sensor settings also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). Scanly's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 29 months) and ratings volume (5 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
