Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QR Controller at none against QR Reader & Creator's 2. QR Controller also leads on iOS requirement (16.0 vs 18.6). QR Reader & Creator's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 8 days vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
