Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scanner Pro at none against Doc OCR's shown. Scanner Pro also leads on ratings volume (338K vs 629) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). Doc OCR's advantage is iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, review sentiment and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner Pro sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Doc OCR sells 11 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.9 for Scanner Pro against 4.8 for Doc OCR. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner Pro has 338K ratings behind it against 629, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 78% of Scanner Pro's written reviews are positive against 85% of Doc OCR's.
