Both are free to download. Phone Scanner sells 5 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and QR Code Reader & PDF Scanner sells 16 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR Code Reader & PDF Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader & PDF Scanner has 2.5K ratings behind it against 146, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 88% of Phone Scanner's written reviews are positive against 55% of QR Code Reader & PDF Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Phone Scanner ships an update every 6 weeks, QR Code Reader & PDF Scanner every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 25, 2026 and October 27, 2026 respectively.
