Verdict

The call

Tiny Scanner and One Scan both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 91% of Tiny Scanner's written reviews are positive against 26% of One Scan's. Tiny Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (182K vs 12K). One Scan's advantage is ads (none vs shown). On price, rating, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
