A-CalcM is a calculator that keeps your values and operators in "calculation lists", so you can check every number as you go and fix just one part later. ■ Features • Calculation lists: calculations are recorded in lists (columns) with a running total. Switch between lists with tabs • 4 presets: Simple 0 / Simple 9 / Preset M (classic A-CalcM) / Preset G (everything included) • Compare lists: show two lists side by side (iPhone, portrait) • Subtotal of checked rows, and copy or move checked rows to another list • Text notes: add item names or purposes to cells • Memory (M+ / M− / MR / MC) kept per list • +Tax / −Tax for tax-included and tax-excluded amounts (set the rate in Settings) • Choose rounding and decimal places • Share & export as an image or text. Text is tab-separated, so it pastes straight into spreadsheet apps • Back up by saving to and importing from a file • Customize button layout and size, and font sizes ■ Reading receipts (Preset G) If you already use an AI app, pass it a photo of a receipt, paste its answer, and the rows go into a list. Before importing, you can check that the rows add up to the printed total. • The photo goes directly to the AI app you pick in the share sheet. A-Soft does not receive it • Accuracy depends on the AI model you use. AI is not perfect, so always compare the rows with the receipt before importing ■ Pro (one-time in-app purchase) Available in Settings. • Hides the ad banner area • Up to 31 lists (3 without Pro) • List lock, which protects a list from AC and MC (Preset G) • Send up to 20 receipt photos to the AI app at once (1 at a time without Pro) If you bought "Remove ads" before, it works as Pro.

Barcode Scanner - EAN & UPC is an app that scans EAN and UPC barcodes with your camera. It is widely used as a handy scanner for product management and inventory checks. Scanned codes can be copied to the clipboard in one tap. Smooth integration with other apps helps streamline your daily work. Codes you scan are added to a list, so you can scan continuously and copy them later. The history feature makes it easy to review past scans, and the share feature supports team workflows.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Barcode Scanner at none against ACalcM's shown. Barcode Scanner also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.4). ACalcM's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
