Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is update cadence: Air Codes at every 3 days against Area Converter's every 33 months. Air Codes also leads on ratings volume (448 vs 18) and monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs paid). Area Converter's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 74%) and iOS requirement (13.4 vs 17.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
