Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Scan & Read QR at 5.0 against QR Reader's 3.8. Scan & Read QR also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 weeks). QR Reader's advantage is ratings volume (24 vs 2) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.
