Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: My PDF Scanner at none against PDF Scanner's shown. My PDF Scanner also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). PDF Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (4 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
