Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: aLog365 at none against Q Codes's shown. aLog365 also leads on rating (4.0 vs 3.7) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). Q Codes's advantage is ratings volume (7 vs 1). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
aLog365 holds the better App Store score, 4.0 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Q Codes has 7 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
Q Codes ships an update every 8 months, aLog365 every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on July 7, 2026 and September 9, 2026 respectively.
