Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: CardWisp at none against QuickScanner's shown. CardWisp also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). QuickScanner's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
