Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: My Technical Assistance at 100% against Inventory Control with Scanner's 46%. My Technical Assistance also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.4). Inventory Control with Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 5 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
