Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scavify at none against Journey Hunt's 5. Scavify also leads on ratings volume (1K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). Journey Hunt's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months). On price, rating, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.
