Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: RootDeck at none against Advanced IP Scanner's shown. RootDeck also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 months). Advanced IP Scanner's advantage is chart position (#108 vs unranked) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
