Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Texivio at none against QR Code Reader's shown. Texivio also leads on update cadence (every 5 days vs every 2 months). QR Code Reader's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.4). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
