# AppPay vs Barcodes

The clearest difference is rating: Barcodes at 4.8 against AppPay's 2.0. Barcodes also leads on ratings volume (1.2K vs 1) and chart position (#151 vs unranked). AppPay's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 17.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Barcodes sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per month. AppPay asks for nothing beyond the download.

Barcodes holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 2.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcodes has 1.2K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
