Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Barcodes at 4.8 against AppPay's 2.0. Barcodes also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and chart position (#130 vs unranked). AppPay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
