# QR Pro vs QR Wizard

The clearest difference is rating: QR Wizard at 5.0 against QR Pro's 4.5. QR Wizard also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 72%). QR Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ratings volume (29K vs 204). On price, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Wizard sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. QR Pro asks for nothing beyond the download.

QR Wizard holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Pro has 29K ratings behind it against 204, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 72% of QR Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of QR Wizard's.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 25, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
