Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: S/N Scanner at 5.0 against Captis's 1.0. S/N Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 20 months) and ratings volume (9 vs 1). Captis's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
