Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Essential QR code reader at none against Ppokkuk's shown. Essential QR code reader also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Ppokkuk's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 12 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
