XText is a secure text encryption and decryption app.Powered by high-strength AES encryption, it ensures your messages are unreadable, hard to spread, and extremely difficult to leak. XText supports decrypting cipher texts from XTexter. These cipher texts use a platform-wide shared key. Choose the right cipher for different scenarios: 1. Universal Cipher Prevents automatic parsing by messaging apps. Can be decrypted by all XText apps. 2. Custom Cipher Share information only with people who own the same secret key. Ensures that only designated recipients can read the content. 3. Client-to-Client Cipher Establishes an exclusive encrypted channel between you and the recipient. Only both parties can decrypt; no third party can access the content. 4. Burn-After-Reading Cipher Even with the same key, the message can only be decrypted once. It becomes invalid immediately after reading. Key Features: - Real-time encryption: The same text produces a different result every time, greatly improving security. - Generate and scan encrypted QR codes for easier sharing. - Biometric unlock support (Face ID / Touch ID) to protect app access. - Fast sharing: easily copy cipher text into any app. We firmly believe that truly secure data must keep transmission and encryption completely separate. Instant messaging apps that integrate encryption with communication are fundamentally insecure. XText Pro supports fully offline text encryption and decryption.
QRCode

Check my lists is a checking application that uses auto-generated qrcodes to track the presence and absence of people, objects and animals in different situations. You can create lists with as many items as you like, then regularly check their presence by scanning the corresponding qrcodes. The results are divided into two categories: items absent and items present, so at a glance you can see who's present and who's not. The auto-generated qrcodes can be photographed and stored in people's smartphones, printed and then pasted onto objects, or placed in notebooks or boards. With the photo you can take, which is displayed with the qrcode, it's easy to match the qrcode to the person, object or animal. Noteworthy functions : * Long-click on a list name to duplicate it and use the same qrcodes in a different list. * You can delete an item's photo by long-pressing its photo icon. * Qrcodes can be printed or shared. * Each list in records can be sent or saved. * Backup and restore lists. * A long press on a record name restarts the qrcode scan.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: XText at Free against QRCode's $1.99. QRCode's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
