Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QR Code Read & Scan at 5.0 against Notebook's 4.2. QR Code Read & Scan also leads on monetization model (freemium vs subscription) and update cadence (daily vs every 2 weeks). Notebook's advantage is ratings volume (18 vs 3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Read & Scan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Notebook sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
