Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: FreePDF at 4.7 against Scanner's 3.7. FreePDF also leads on update cadence (every 6 days vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (29 vs 3). Scanner's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
