Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: QR Pro at Free against CalPrint's $1.99. QR Pro also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 273). CalPrint's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 4.5) and review sentiment (90% vs 73%). On ads, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
