Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: iMathematics at 73% against Math Scanner's 28%. Math Scanner's advantage is rating (4.2 vs 3.5) and ratings volume (454 vs 34). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. iMathematics sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and Math Scanner sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Math Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.2 against 3.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Math Scanner has 454 ratings behind it against 34, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 73% of iMathematics's written reviews are positive against 28% of Math Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
