Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: 4Barcode at 2.5 against Aprinter's 2.0. 4Barcode also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (35 vs 10). Aprinter's advantage is review sentiment (33% vs 22%) and iOS requirement (9.0 vs 11.0). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
