ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader has 2.1K ratings behind it against 16, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 82% of ScanPro's written reviews are positive against 78% of Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on June 22, 2026 and September 19, 2026 respectively.
