Features	Scandit	Comparable barcode scanning software
Support for common 1D barcodes Scan EAN, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, etc.
Support for common 2D barcodes Scan Aztec Code, Data Matrix Code, QR Code, PDF417 Code, etc.
Support for fluorescent mail barcodes Scan nearly-invisible fluorescent mail barcodes to avoid having to use static sorting machines.		Doesn't support scanning of fluorescent mail barcodes.
Scanning at high volume Sustained scanning of hundreds, thousands or millions of barcodes a day.	Up to 2x faster in high-volume scanning scenarios.	Slower scan processing reduces efficiency in high-throughput workflows.
Long-range scanning and extreme angles Improve UX and reduce fatigue by giving users better ergonomics.	2x-5x longer scan ranges for electronic shelf labels.	Short scan range forces awkward user movement. Slows down operations and hurts UX.
Tough barcodes Scan crumpled, curved, or damaged barcodes, scan through plastic wrap, at angles, on shelves.	Reliably scans even tough barcodes.	Can be fragile under real-world conditions such as crumpled codes and glare.
High performance on any device type Enable BYOD, choose low-end devices to lower TCO, or run on existing handheld computers.	Decodes blurry images, common on lower spec devices.	Requires higher spec devices for stable performance.
False positives Even a 1% false positive rate can create costly delays, errors, and rework.	0% false positive rate for all major barcodes.	Up to 5% false positive rate with some symbologies.
Advanced capabilities
Context-aware scanning Automatically detects the barcode the user intends to scan.	Reduces unwanted scans by up to 100%.	Can’t intelligently select the right barcode when multiple are in frame.
Batch scan multiple barcodes and add visual feedback with AR Speed up workflows, improve accuracy and worker experience.	Speeds up workflows by up to 10x.	Available but not robust under real-world conditions. Cannot handle duplicate codes e.g. for stocktaking.
Automated label scanning Read barcodes and printed text simultaneously.	Captures label data up to 7x faster.	Doesn’t support combined barcode and text capture.
Integration, support, and security
End-to-end support Make integration fast and predictable and operations smooth.	Dedicated solution consultants, support engineers, and post-sales customer success. Scandit support has a satisfaction rate of >96%.	More limited technical support capacity.
Security and privacy Protect your business with transparency, observability and control.	ISO 27001 certified, fully compliant with GDPR/CCPA, dedicated information security team.	More limited security features.
Flexible integration options Deploy in the way that suits you.	Turnkey Scandit Express app, pre-built components, fully flexible options.	Only flexible options and limited pre-built components, requiring more dev time for integration.
Available on all common frameworks Integration on web, native, and cross-platform frameworks.
This table compares Scandit to two major alternative commercial barcode scanning SDKs, based on controlled testing conducted in Jan-Feb 2023 using the latest version of each software on Samsung Galaxy S21 and Samsung XCover Pro devices, and a side-by-side comparison conducted in June 2025.
