Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Scan at none against QR Controller's shown. Scan also leads on monetization model (free vs ad-supported). QR Controller's advantage is iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.0). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
