Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: ArmorScan at 4.2 against iScan's 1.0. ArmorScan also leads on ratings volume (6 vs 1). iScan's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 2) and update cadence (every 7 months vs every 19 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
