Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: QR Wizard at none against eScanner's shown. QR Wizard also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 5 months) and review sentiment (100% vs 75%). eScanner's advantage is iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
