Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: G1+ at 100% against IP Scanner's 60%. G1+ also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 4) and iOS requirement (6.0 vs 26). IP Scanner's advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.2) and ratings volume (891 vs 5). On price and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. IP Scanner sells 4 one-off in-app purchases. G1+ asks for nothing beyond the download.
IP Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: IP Scanner has 891 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of G1+'s written reviews are positive against 60% of IP Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
