Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Search Scanner at Free against Just Search's $0.99. Search Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 16 months) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Just Search's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
