Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Whenora at 5.0 against QR Code & Barcode Scanner's 4.4. Whenora also leads on update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 2 months). QR Code & Barcode Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.2). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
