Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: PDF Editor & Scanner at 5.0 against Scanner's 4.5. Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 6 days vs every 2 weeks) and ratings volume (31 vs 6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Scanner sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and PDF Editor & Scanner sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
PDF Editor & Scanner holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner has 31 ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.
