Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scaniz at none against Barcode Detection's shown. Scaniz also leads on iOS requirement (15.5 vs 17.7.2). Barcode Detection's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 4 months). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
