# QR Code · vs QR Code Reader ＋

The clearest difference is ads: QR Code Reader ＋ at none against QR Code ·'s shown. QR Code Reader ＋ also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 6 weeks) and ratings volume (511 vs 26). QR Code ·'s advantage is review sentiment (79% vs 56%). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code · sells 1 in-app purchase, starting at $1.99 per month and QR Code Reader ＋ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Code Reader ＋ holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader ＋ has 511 ratings behind it against 26, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of QR Code ·'s written reviews are positive against 56% of QR Code Reader ＋'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QR Code · ships an update every 6 weeks, QR Code Reader ＋ weekly. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 12, 2026 respectively.
