Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: OneCap at none against QR Scanner's shown. OneCap also leads on update cadence (every 2 days vs every 4 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). QR Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (12 vs 2). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
