Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: QR & Barcode Reader at none against Qr's shown. QR & Barcode Reader also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs fortnightly). Qr's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 13) and rating (4.4 vs 4.1). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
