Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Loop Deposit at none against Barcodes's 3. Loop Deposit also leads on iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). Barcodes's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 42) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, review sentiment and ads there is nothing between them.
