Both are free to download. QRCode Simple QR Code Scanner sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month and SkyBlueScan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
SkyBlueScan holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: SkyBlueScan has 4K ratings behind it against 13, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 86% of QRCode Simple QR Code Scanner's written reviews are positive against 25% of SkyBlueScan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QRCode Simple QR Code Scanner ships an update monthly, SkyBlueScan every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 10, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
