You can also indicate location type, such as “temporary” or “permanent” so you’ll always be up to date. Setup is simple. Just scan a QR code, then log into your Argus system using the same Login ID and password you use to access Argus with your web browser. Requirements: • Argus 4.3.5.51 or higher, with barcode and API features, on an SSL server. • The Argus barcode features configured. • The Argus API enabled. • Barcode labels using Code 39, Code 39 Mod 43, Code 128, or QR codes. • Any iPhone, iPod touch, iPad, iPad Air, iPad mini, or iPad Pro currently supported by Apple, with iOS 12 or later.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: PMW Expo at every 4 days against Argus Mobile's every 6 weeks. Argus Mobile's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.4). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
