# EasyScan vs QR Code Reader ＋

The clearest difference is ads: QR Code Reader ＋ at none against EasyScan's shown. QR Code Reader ＋ also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.1) and ratings volume (510 vs 9). EasyScan's advantage is review sentiment (75% vs 56%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. EasyScan sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month and QR Code Reader ＋ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Code Reader ＋ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader ＋ has 510 ratings behind it against 9, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of EasyScan's written reviews are positive against 56% of QR Code Reader ＋'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EasyScan ships an update every 9 days, QR Code Reader ＋ weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
