# Mobile Scanner App vs QR Code Scanner Pro *

The clearest difference is rating: Mobile Scanner App at 4.8 against QR Code Scanner Pro *'s 4.4. Mobile Scanner App also leads on ratings volume (57K vs 326) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, review sentiment, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Mobile Scanner App sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and QR Code Scanner Pro * sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Mobile Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Mobile Scanner App has 57K ratings behind it against 326, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of Mobile Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 84% of QR Code Scanner Pro *'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Mobile Scanner App ships an update fortnightly, QR Code Scanner Pro * every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 18, 2026.
