Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Cat Alarm Clock at 4.7 against Barcode Reader's 3.0. Cat Alarm Clock also leads on ratings volume (140 vs 2). Barcode Reader's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Cat Alarm Clock holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cat Alarm Clock has 140 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Cat Alarm Clock's written reviews are positive against 100% of Barcode Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
