The clearest difference is monetization model: QR Barcode Generator Scanner at free with in-app purchases against Inventory for Business's subscription. Inventory for Business's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 4 months). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
