Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Epson DocumentScan at Free against iOptIMS's $99.99. Epson DocumentScan also leads on rating (1.8 vs 1.0) and ratings volume (122 vs 1). iOptIMS's advantage is iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.0). On update cadence, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
