Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Barcode Maker at 100% against Barcode's 53%. Barcode's advantage is rating (4.9 vs 4.5) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price, ratings volume, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Barcode holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.5. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 59 and 20 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 53% of Barcode's written reviews are positive against 100% of Barcode Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
