Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: QR Pro at 4.5 against QR Code (Pro)'s 2.6. QR Pro also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 16 months) and ratings volume (29K vs 5). QR Code (Pro)'s advantage is iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Pro has 29K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of QR Pro's written reviews are positive against 75% of QR Code (Pro)'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, QR Code (Pro) every 16 months. The most recent releases landed on September 27, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
