Verdict
The clearest difference is monetization model: ScanBar at freemium against Barcode Generator +++'s subscription. ScanBar also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.5). Barcode Generator +++'s advantage is ratings volume (230 vs 3) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
