Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Paleto at Free against QR Scanner Pro's $0.99. Paleto also leads on update cadence (every 4 months vs every 44 months) and iOS requirement (14.0 vs 16.6). QR Scanner Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 4) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
