Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Optical Toolkit at none against Money Scanner's 8. Optical Toolkit also leads on ads (none vs shown). Money Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
