Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CSXH Cloud at none against IP Scanner's 4. CSXH Cloud also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 26). IP Scanner's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 7 months) and review sentiment (60% vs 50%). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
