Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QR Code · at 79% against QR Code Reader ·'s 50%. QR Code Reader ·'s advantage is rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (670K vs 26). On price, update cadence, 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

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. QR Code Reader · sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days and QR Code · sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR Code Reader · holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader · has 670K ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of QR Code Reader ·'s written reviews are positive against 79% of QR Code ·'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR Code Reader · ships an update every 3 weeks, QR Code · every 6 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and September 22, 2026 respectively.
