Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scantivia at 5.0 against iPostal1's 3.3. Scantivia also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). iPostal1's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (1.1K vs 3). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
