Verdict
The clearest difference is price: QR Code Reader at Free against Range's $1.99. QR Code Reader also leads on rating (4.7 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 10 days vs every 6 months). Range's advantage is review sentiment (67% vs 24%) and in-app purchases (none vs 4). On ads 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
QR Code Reader is free to download; Range costs $1.99 up front. QR Code Reader sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Range asks for nothing beyond the download.
QR Code Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader has 124 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 67% of Range's written reviews are positive against 24% of QR Code Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Range ships an update every 6 months, QR Code Reader every 10 days. The most recent releases landed on October 9, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
