Verdict
The clearest difference is price: QRScan at Free against Watch Microphone's $2.99. QRScan also leads on iOS requirement (15.6 vs 18.4). Watch Microphone's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 5 days vs every 5 months). On in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
