Scraping is the least expensive way.... or you can cover the whole ceiling with 1/4" drywall, tape, mud, sand, prime and paint. If you decide the cost is too much.... a tip on scraping, duct tape your wet and dry vac hose to your scraper.... lots less mess.
You could cover them with wood strips or beadboard.
I covered mine in a linen look fabric..time consuming but looks good. Cover seams with flat molding. Most inexpensive solution I could come up with.
We made a “floating” ceiling with beadboars and crown molding. It looks great!
