Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: PDF & Docs Scanner App at 5.0 against Printer App's 3.9. PDF & Docs Scanner App also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and update cadence (every 6 days vs fortnightly). Printer App's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (352 vs 3). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
