Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: Scanner Pro at none against Scanner App's shown. Scanner Pro also leads on ratings volume (338K vs 1) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). Scanner App's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 18.0). On price, rating, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
