Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: AI Chat at none against QR Code & 2D Barcode Scanner's shown. AI Chat also leads on monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). QR Code & 2D Barcode Scanner's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Written reviews complicate that: 46% of QR Code & 2D Barcode Scanner's written reviews are positive against 49% of AI Chat's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR Code & 2D Barcode Scanner ships an update every 9 days, AI Chat monthly. The most recent releases landed on October 24, 2026 and October 22, 2026 respectively.
