Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: InventoryScan at none against Pocket Barcode System's 3. InventoryScan also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 19 months). Pocket Barcode System's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 16.6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
