Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Passphrase at none against Money Scanner's 8. Passphrase also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.0). Money Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 29 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
