Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Visioneer Mobile Capture at none against FineReader's 10. Visioneer Mobile Capture also leads on iOS requirement (12.4 vs 15.0). FineReader's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
