Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: BAAR at none against Advanced IP Scanner's shown. BAAR also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Advanced IP Scanner's advantage is chart position (#130 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
