Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: IRIScan PDF Scanner at 3.0 against Epson DocumentScan's 1.8. IRIScan PDF Scanner also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Epson DocumentScan's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 2) and review sentiment (12% vs 0%). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
IRIScan PDF Scanner holds the better App Store score, 3.0 against 1.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Epson DocumentScan has 121 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 12% of Epson DocumentScan's written reviews are positive against 0% of IRIScan PDF Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
