Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Barcode Lookup at 4.6 against WorthPoint's 2.1. Barcode Lookup also leads on review sentiment (51% vs 10%) and monetization model (ad-supported vs subscription). WorthPoint's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (monthly vs every 6 months). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
