Verdict

The call

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.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

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.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

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.
