Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QR Creator at 4.7 against QR's 3.0. QR Creator also leads on ratings volume (463 vs 2) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). QR's advantage is monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.6). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. QR sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QR Creator sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
QR Creator holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Creator has 463 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 33% and 33% positive.
QR ships an update every 3 weeks, QR Creator weekly. The most recent releases landed on June 1, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
