Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Doc Scan at Free against Scanner App Pro's $39.99. Doc Scan also leads on ratings volume (14K vs 263). Scanner App Pro's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and chart position (#178 vs unranked). On rating, review sentiment, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
