Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Barcode Lite at none against ACI Automate's shown. Barcode Lite also leads on iOS requirement (10.0 vs 15.0). ACI Automate's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 9 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
