Verdict

The call

QRoo and QR Reader* both sit at 4.6 stars, but that hides the real split: 71% of QRoo's written reviews are positive against 0% of QR Reader*'s. QRoo also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 4 months). QR Reader*'s advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). On price, rating, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
