Both are free to download. ScanPro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. QR Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Pro has 29K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of QR Pro's written reviews are positive against 82% of ScanPro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR Pro ships an update weekly, ScanPro every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and June 22, 2026 respectively.
