Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: SnapQR at 100% against QR Code's 33%. SnapQR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.5). QR Code's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13K vs 4). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
