Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: QR at 100% against QR Code Maker's 57%. QR also leads on rating (5.0 vs 3.3). QR Code Maker's advantage is ratings volume (19 vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.4). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
