The following adapters/cables are supported: - AirPlay supported devices - Apple TV (2nd generation and later) - USB Type-C Cable (video output supported) - Lightning to VGA Adapter - Lightning Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) - Apple VGA Adapter - Apple Digital AV Adapter (HDMI) - Apple Composite AV Cable - Apple Component AV Cable This application has the functions listed below.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ScannerHD Pro at 4.7 against CameraVision's 3.9. ScannerHD Pro also leads on review sentiment (91% vs 55%) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 10 months). CameraVision's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
