Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: VSIA at none against QR Code Scanner's shown. VSIA also leads on device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). QR Code Scanner's advantage is update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
