Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Barcode at 4.2 against MineCheck's 2.3. Barcode also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (535 vs 3). MineCheck's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
