Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: QR Tools at Free against DarkBlock's $4.99. QR Tools also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.0). DarkBlock's advantage is device support (4 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
