Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barcode at none against TrueHues's 3. Barcode also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). TrueHues's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 116 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
