Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Shippity at none against Barcode Reader & QR Scanner's 5. Shippity also leads on ratings volume (1.8K vs 127) and rating (4.8 vs 4.6). Barcode Reader & QR Scanner's advantage is review sentiment (71% vs 45%). On price, update cadence, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Barcode Reader & QR Scanner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Shippity asks for nothing beyond the download.
Shippity holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Shippity has 1.8K ratings behind it against 127, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 45% of Shippity's written reviews are positive against 71% of Barcode Reader & QR Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Shippity ships an update every 2 months, Barcode Reader & QR Scanner every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 14, 2026 and October 16, 2026 respectively.
