For more than 8 years, our app Barcode-Check has been ensuring secure and efficient business processes in compliance with global standards... After 2 years of development, we have reached the next level for data checking of your barcodes and labels with CodeCheckGS. The supported specifications has been expanded so that HIBC, IFA and ANSI can now also be used in addition to GS1. The new scan archive ensures that previous scans can be checked at any time for tracebility, the support of Cognex scanners for difficult barcodes and optional available watch apps makes the package complete. CodeCheckGS validates whether the information in the barcode corresponds to the requirements of the specification and supports you with further important information about the identifier. This is done for GS1 barcodes (GS1-128 and GS1-Datamatrix), HIBC primary and secondary codes, and IFA barcodes. For ANSI MH10.8.2 identifiers we are displaying all information. ---------------------------------------------- The main functions... >>> Fast selection of functions via selection buttons in the start screen >>> Own barcode scanners depending on specification (GS1, HIBC, IFA and ANSI) >>> Normal barcode scanner that is also available without a subscription >>> Library for ANSI and GS1 identifiers with identifier details and characteristics >>> Scan archive with access to all previous scans with filter and search >>> Detailed inline help with all important information including configurations >>> Two scan engines to choose from for advanced barcode recognition >>> Optimized operation for many scans: tap to scan and swipe to return >>> Display of identifier characteristics as text and symbol >>> For GS1 barcodes, required and invalid combinations are also displayed >>> An integrated report shows validation result in one overview >>> Reports can be printed out or sent as an email >>> The header in the reports can be configured for each user >>> The recognized barcode can also be viewed later as an image in the archive >>> Images with barcodes can be sent to CodeCheckGS for evaluation ------------------------------------------------ We offer all of this for a cheap annual subscription.

Pixel Mapper xModel

Pixel Mapper turns your iPhone or iPad into an automatic layout tool for xLights. Point your camera at your light display, and the app lights each WS2811 / WS2812 pixel, finds it in the camera image with computer vision, and builds a ready-to-import xLights Custom model — no manual clicking pixel by pixel. Perfect for Christmas light displays, props, matrices, megatrees, and any irregular pixel layout that's painful to map by hand. HOW IT WORKS 1. Target — enter your controller's IP and pixel count. Output goes over DDP or sACN / E1.31, the same protocols xLights and FPP already speak. 2. Scan — choose a mode: • Fast (base-3): every pixel lights in every frame, colored by one base-3 digit of its index, so all pixels are identified in only ~log3(N)+2 frames (about 500 pixels in 8 frames). Two checksum digits reject misreads. • Sequential: light one pixel at a time and find the single bright blob. Slower, but dead simple and rock solid. Both modes subtract a black reference frame to ignore ambient hotspots. 3. Review — see the detected layout over your photo, drop bad points, tap to place or move a node, and re-scan individual pixels. Zoom and pan to fine-tune. 4. Export — save a standard xLights .xmodel file that imports into both old and new versions of xLights. WHY PIXEL MAPPER • No more mapping hundreds of pixels by hand. • Works with the gear you already own — any DDP or sACN/E1.31 pixel controller. • Fast base-3 scan maps large models in seconds of capture. • Checksum-protected so misread pixels get rejected, not placed wrong. • Best results in a dim room; the app locks camera exposure and focus where the device supports it. REQUIREMENTS • A WS2811 / WS2812 (or compatible) pixel controller reachable on your network. • The controller set to receive DDP or sACN / E1.31. • An iPhone or iPad on the same Wi-Fi network as the controller. Pixel Mapper is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the xLights project. xLights is a trademark of its respective owners.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Pixel Mapper xModel at none against CodeCheckGS's 1. Pixel Mapper xModel also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.6). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
