Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Kode QR at 3.8 against Meme Maker's 2.1. Kode QR also leads on ratings volume (129 vs 13). Meme Maker's advantage is update cadence (every 3 months vs every 11 months) and price ($0.99 vs $3.99). On review sentiment, ads, in-app purchases and chart position there is nothing between them.
