Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: QR Reader Plus at 78% against 2D's 30%. QR Reader Plus also leads on rating (4.4 vs 2.3) and ratings volume (18 vs 3). 2D's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 35 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
