Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Doc Scan at Free against Doc Scan Pro's $39.99. Doc Scan also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 601). Doc Scan Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#144 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
