Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BarcodeEasy at 4.5 against Barcode Generator +'s 3.3. BarcodeEasy also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (187 vs 11). Barcode Generator +'s advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 34%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. BarcodeEasy sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month and Barcode Generator + sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
BarcodeEasy holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: BarcodeEasy has 187 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 34% of BarcodeEasy's written reviews are positive against 50% of Barcode Generator +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
BarcodeEasy ships an update every 3 weeks, Barcode Generator + every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on September 20, 2026 and August 15, 2026 respectively.
