Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QUBA at 5.0 against Scan Halal's 3.8. QUBA also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 3) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Scan Halal's advantage is ratings volume (2.3K vs 3) and iOS requirement (12 vs 15.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
