Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Scan at Free against FTPManager Pro's $2.99. Scan also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 2 months). FTPManager Pro's advantage is chart position (#18 vs unranked) and device support (3 vs 1). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
