Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: xScan at 4.6 against Screenshot Editor's 2.6. xScan also leads on ratings volume (31K vs 23) and chart position (#73 vs unranked). Screenshot Editor's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 10) and iOS requirement (7.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

xScan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: xScan has 31K ratings behind it against 23, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Screenshot Editor's written reviews are positive against 43% of xScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
