Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sofinet Cloud at none against FineReader's 10. Sofinet Cloud also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 71%) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). FineReader's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 14 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
