Verdict
QR Code Scanner and 7 both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 75% of QR Code Scanner's written reviews are positive against 36% of 7's. QR Code Scanner also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 3 months) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 18.0). 7's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, rating, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
