Verdict

The call

Faster Scan and Scan App + both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 87% of Faster Scan's written reviews are positive against 44% of Scan App +'s. Faster Scan also leads on update cadence (every 10 days vs monthly). Scan App +'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (7.1K vs 2K). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
