Verdict
The clearest difference is price: QR Widgets at $0.99 against NFC Arcane's $19.99. QR Widgets also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.5). NFC Arcane's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
