Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Buy Rite at 90% against Mobile Scan's 18%. Buy Rite also leads on rating (4.7 vs 2.2) and update cadence (every 2 months vs every 14 months). Mobile Scan's advantage is monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 13.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
