Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Barcode Scanner at 4.5 against WorthPoint's 2.1. Barcode Scanner also leads on review sentiment (43% vs 10%) and ratings volume (42K vs 116). WorthPoint's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 72 months) and chart position (#19 vs #59). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
