# QR Pro vs QR Code Generator

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QR Pro at none against QR Code Generator's 16. QR Pro also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (29K vs 3.6K). On price, rating and update cadence there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Generator sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. QR Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.5 for QR Pro against 4.6 for QR Code Generator. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Pro has 29K ratings behind it against 3.6K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 73% of QR Pro's written reviews are positive against 64% of QR Code Generator's.

QR Pro ships an update weekly, QR Code Generator every 6 days. Both last shipped on October 16, 2026.
