Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: BarcodeVault at 5.0 against AICount's 4.7. BarcodeVault also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 11 days). AICount's advantage is ratings volume (9 vs 1) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
