Scanned codes can be copied to the clipboard in one tap. Smooth integration with other apps helps streamline your daily work.

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: MyBarcode at none against Barcode Scanner's 2. Barcode Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 5 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
