Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Adobe Scan at 4.9 against Scan It All's 4.2. Adobe Scan also leads on ratings volume (1.6M vs 318) and review sentiment (83% vs 70%). Scan It All's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
