This is a fan application, LEGO® and the LEGO® logo are trademarks of the LEGO® Group, which does not sponsor, authorize or endorse this app. With the introduction of the LEGO® Minifigures Series 25, it is now possible to identify which minifigure is inside the box by scanning the data code on the bottom of the box. LEGO® has not yet confirmed this, so it may not work all the time, but many users have reported that the data codes match the minifigs correctly. This app allows you to quickly scan these data codes and reveal which minifigure should be in the box. The app may provide links to purchase products online in case you have difficulty finding them in stores. Some of these links may be affiliate links. Using these links allows the app to earn a small commission on qualified purchases at no additional cost to you.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: AF at none against Minifig Scan's 3. Minifig Scan's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
