# QR Pro vs Fuel

The clearest difference is rating: Fuel at 5.0 against QR Pro's 4.5. QR Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ratings volume (29K vs 2). On price, update cadence, ads and monetization model there is nothing between them.

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

Fuel 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 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

QR Pro ships an update weekly, Fuel every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 20, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
