Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Bonsai Master at none against Lens Scanner's 10. Bonsai Master also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). Lens Scanner's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
