Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: QR Code Scanner / Generator at none against QR's shown. QR Code Scanner / Generator also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.4). QR's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 14 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
