Verdict

The call

PhotoBase Cleaner and QR Code Reader™ + both sit at 4.7 stars, but that hides the real split: 100% of PhotoBase Cleaner's written reviews are positive against 50% of QR Code Reader™ +'s. PhotoBase Cleaner also leads on monetization model (ad-supported vs free with in-app purchases) and ratings volume (24 vs 4). QR Code Reader™ +'s advantage is ads (none vs shown).
