Verdict

The call

Scanner Pro and Document Scanner both sit at 4.9 stars, but that hides the real split: 80% of Scanner Pro's written reviews are positive against 0% of Document Scanner's. Scanner Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (335K vs 62). Document Scanner's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
