Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Code Scanner ALL at 4.5 against NFC's 4.0. Code Scanner ALL also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 2). NFC's advantage is review sentiment (56% vs 33%) and update cadence (every 6 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, ratings volume, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
