Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QR Reader* at 4.4 against Remote Control's 3.0. QR Reader* also leads on ratings volume (12 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.1). Remote Control's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
