# ScanPro vs QR Code Reader

The clearest difference is review sentiment: ScanPro at 82% against QR Code Reader's 25%. QR Code Reader's advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.1) and ads (none vs shown). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. ScanPro sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QR Code Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Code Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader has 111 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 25% of QR Code Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

ScanPro ships an update every 3 weeks, QR Code Reader every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on October 15, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
