Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: QR Pro at none against Kompress's shown. QR Pro also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 10 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 165). Kompress's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (91% vs 72%). On price, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
