Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ratings volume: Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner at 293 against ScanPro's 16. ScanPro's advantage is review sentiment (82% vs 67%) and update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 6 weeks). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner has 293 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 67% of Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

ScanPro ships an update every 3 weeks, Freebie QR Code Reader Scanner every 6 weeks. Both last shipped on October 1, 2026.
