Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Barcode Country at none against Khmer Compass's shown. Barcode Country also leads on update cadence (every 3 days vs every 3 months). Khmer Compass's advantage is iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.2). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
