Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scopa! at Free against iScopa's $2.99. Scopa! also leads on ratings volume (3.7K vs 102) and review sentiment (84% vs 75%). iScopa's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On rating, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
