Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: PocketScan at none against FoxScanner Mini's shown. PocketScan also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs monthly). FoxScanner Mini's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
