Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Ferguson Home at Free against Kode QR's $3.99. Ferguson Home also leads on rating (4.9 vs 3.8) and ratings volume (11K vs 129). Kode QR's advantage is review sentiment (66% vs 51%) and chart position (#63 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Ferguson Home holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Ferguson Home has 11K ratings behind it against 129, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 66% of Kode QR's written reviews are positive against 51% of Ferguson Home's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Kode QR ships an update every 11 months, Ferguson Home every 3 months. The most recent releases landed on October 26, 2026 and October 29, 2026 respectively.
