Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DropCode+ at none against ScanByte's 2. DropCode+ also leads on ads (none vs shown). ScanByte's advantage is update cadence (every 2 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 18.5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
