Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QR at 5.0 against QR Code vCard's 4.4. QR also leads on iOS requirement (14.0 vs 17.6). QR Code vCard's advantage is review sentiment (63% vs 33%) and ratings volume (20 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
QR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code vCard has 20 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 63% of QR Code vCard's written reviews are positive against 33% of QR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR Code vCard ships an update every 5 months, QR every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on August 12, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
