# Maven vs QRControl

The clearest difference is price: QRControl at Free against Maven's $27.99. QRControl also leads on rating (4.7 vs 4.3) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.6). Maven's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (72% vs 60%). On ratings volume, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

QRControl is free to download; Maven costs $27.99 up front. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.

QRControl holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 112 and 115 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 72% of Maven's written reviews are positive against 60% of QRControl's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Maven ships an update every 9 days, QRControl every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 29, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
