Barcode Scanner for Knack holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Scan's written reviews are positive against 50% of Barcode Scanner for Knack's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
