Barcode Studio is the free barcode generation solution for mostly all known barcodes. Currently the app is able to encode data in over 40 barcode symbologies. The app is free (ad supported).

There is an in-app purchase to remove ads and enable the favorites and history features. The 'favorites' feature allows you to save your frequently used barcodes while the 'history' feature provides access to the latest genererated barcodes.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Vizla at none against Barcode's 2. Vizla also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 months vs every 8 months). Barcode's advantage is ratings volume (66 vs 2) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 26.0). On price, rating and device support there is nothing between them.
