Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PatchPrinter at 5.0 against Scenario mobile's 3.9. PatchPrinter also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2) and review sentiment (100% vs 80%). Scenario mobile's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 3 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
