Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Essential QR code reader at none against Video and Photo Converter's shown. Essential QR code reader also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.1). Video and Photo Converter's advantage is update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 12 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
