The clearest difference is price: Doc Scan at Free against Doc OCR Pro's $39.99. Doc Scan also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 47) and review sentiment (91% vs 74%). Doc OCR Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On rating, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Doc Scan is free to download; Doc OCR Pro costs $39.99 up front. Doc Scan sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and Doc OCR Pro sells 11 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.8 for Doc Scan against 4.7 for Doc OCR Pro. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Doc Scan has 14K ratings behind it against 47, so its average is the more settled of the two.
