Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 中庸 at 5.0 against QR Code Reader's 4.1. 中庸 also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 64%) and update cadence (monthly vs every 15 months). QR Code Reader's advantage is ratings volume (72 vs 8). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
