Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Barcode Tool at none against Push Notification's 1. Barcode Tool also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). Push Notification's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 25 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
