Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Paste at Free against QR Master Plus's $1.99. Paste also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). QR Master Plus's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 6) and iOS requirement (16.6 vs 26.0). On ads and device support there is nothing between them.
