Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Scan & Read QR at 5.0 against QR Code Scanner's 4.5. Scan & Read QR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). QR Code Scanner's advantage is ratings volume (100 vs 2) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
