Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: U/AWARE at none against VIN Scanner's 3. U/AWARE also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). VIN Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
