mobile_scanner vs. Scanbot SDK | Flutter Barcode Scanners
In this video, we compare two Flutter barcode scanners: mobile_scanner and Scanbot SDK. We focus on scanning performance in real-life conditions such as poorly printed, damaged and tiny barcodes, as well as scanning in low light.
mobile_scanner is an open-source library that uses ML Kit on Android, VisionKit on iOS, and zxing-js on Web.
Scanbot SDK provides commercial barcode scanning software that utilizes machine learning techniques to improve scanning speed and reliability.
The key differences lie in their underlying technology, support structure, and licensing model. While mobile_scanner performs well under ideal conditions, it can struggle with damaged, very small, or wrinkled barcodes. The Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK is designed to scan these cases both quickly and reliably.
