Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Sheet Widget at none against NDscanner Lite's shown. Sheet Widget also leads on update cadence (every 8 days vs every 4 months). NDscanner Lite's advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
