Verdict
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.

Both are free to download. eScanner sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QR Wizard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Wizard has 204 ratings behind it against 20, so its average is the more settled of the two.
