Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Meron Mail at none against Scanly's 3. Meron Mail also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 10 days). Scanly's advantage is iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.0). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
