The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Sigma Mini at none against QR Code Reader＊Barcode Scanner's 10. Sigma Mini also leads on ads (none vs shown) and iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.5). QR Code Reader＊Barcode Scanner's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (23K vs 4). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

QR Code Reader＊Barcode Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader＊Barcode Scanner has 23K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 38% of Sigma Mini's written reviews are positive against 32% of QR Code Reader＊Barcode Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
