This "AsCode Reader App" allows you to scan an innovative, new 2D code called "AsCode." AsCode was developed with the concept of reading mass quantities of codes instantaneously. By adopting a much simpler 2D configuration than typical QR codes etc, AsCode achieves reading speeds that are unparalleled. The reading speed of AsCode far surpasses that of conventional handheld terminals and other readers, enabling smartphones to scan large volumes of symbols at astonishing speeds.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: AsCode at every 3 weeks against CaptuKey's every 4 months. CaptuKey's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.6). On price, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
