# EFQRCode vs PikPak

The clearest difference is rating: EFQRCode at 4.3 against PikPak's 2.9. EFQRCode also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 10). PikPak's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (231 vs 11). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. PikPak sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month. EFQRCode asks for nothing beyond the download.

EFQRCode holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: PikPak has 231 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of EFQRCode's written reviews are positive against 48% of PikPak's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

EFQRCode ships an update every 2 months, PikPak weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 2, 2026 and November 7, 2026 respectively.
