Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Deckboard at none against ScanMind's 1. Deckboard also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). ScanMind's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price there is nothing between them.
