The camera recognizes QR codes, product codes, linear barcodes, and 2D matrix codes. You can also recognize codes from photos or PDFs. Results can be opened, copied, shared, saved, and favorited. Create codes when you need them. MeCode creates QR codes for URLs, text, Wi-Fi, email, phone numbers, contacts, SMS, locations, and events. It also creates product codes, ISBN, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, Codabar, ITF-14, Interleaved 2 of 5, Data Matrix, PDF417, and Aztec. QR Style helps you keep QR codes clear and recognizable. Start with a template, adjust colors, shapes, finder style, margin, and correction level, then add a logo. The editor shows reliability status and risk reasons before export.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Text Parser Pro at none against MeCode's 3. MeCode's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs fortnightly). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
