Verdict
The clearest difference is price: QR Code Scanner at Free against HydraPro's $19.99. QR Code Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months) and ratings volume (98 vs 1). HydraPro's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.5) and in-app purchases (none vs 8). On device support there is nothing between them.
