Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: TickChecker at 4.7 against ScanMate's 3.5. TickChecker also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (1.6K vs 2). ScanMate's advantage is chart position (#187 vs unranked). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. TickChecker sells 13 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and ScanMate sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
TickChecker holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.5.
