Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Brother iPrint&Scan at none against Molnus's 3. Molnus's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
