Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: BookTree at 95% against PantaSCAN's 26%. BookTree also leads on update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 7 months). PantaSCAN's advantage is price (Free vs $4.99) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
