Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QR Scan at none against Location Notifier's 1. QR Scan also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 17.0). Location Notifier's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 9 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
