Point. Scan. Paste. Done. Barcode Copy turns your iPhone into a rapid barcode scanner for the web. The instant you scan a barcode, it's copied to your clipboard — ready to paste into the built-in browser or any other app. No extra taps, no fiddling. Perfect for getting barcodes into websites and web apps, fast: • RETAILERS & SMALL BUSINESSES — Stand at the shelf, scan an item, and paste it straight into your supplier's ordering site or inventory system. Scan, paste, order, repeat. • SHOPPERS — Scan a product in the store and paste the code into a search to compare prices before you buy. • EVERYONE ELSE — Tickets, assets, serial numbers, ISBNs — if it has a barcode, you can get it onto a website in seconds. WHY IT'S FAST • Scans continuously — no shutter button, no confirmation screens • Instant beep and vibration confirm every scan (optional) • Smart re-scan protection: the same code won't double-scan while it's in view, but a different code scans immediately • Built-in browser with a one-tap Paste button, so you never leave the app • Optionally jump to the browser automatically after every scan READS EVERYTHING QR codes, EAN-13, EAN-8, UPC, Code 128, Code 39, Code 93, ITF-14, Codabar, Data Matrix, PDF417, Aztec — all the codes you'll find on products, shipping labels, and tickets. Damaged barcode? Type it in manually. Dark stockroom? There's a flashlight button. SCAN HISTORY WITH PHOTOS Every scan is saved with a small photo of the barcode you captured. Tap any past scan to see the photo, the full code, and when you scanned it — and copy it again with one tap. Prefer not to keep photos? Turn them off in Settings. YOUR DATA STAYS YOURS • No sign-up, no login, no account • No ads, no subscriptions — everything is included in one download • Nothing is collected and nothing leaves your device Barcode Copy does one thing and does it fast: it gets barcodes off the shelf and into the web.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Klipped at 61% against Barcode Copy's 0%. Klipped also leads on price (Free vs $0.89) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 8 months). Barcode Copy's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3) and chart position (#54 vs unranked). On ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings
