Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Expert Scan at every 5 days against QR's fortnightly. QR's advantage is ratings volume (1.1K vs 50) and review sentiment (69% vs 60%). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Expert Scan sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days and QR sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
On the App Store both sit at effectively the same score — 4.6 for Expert Scan against 4.6 for QR. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR has 1.1K ratings behind it against 50, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews are what separate them: 60% of Expert Scan's written reviews are positive against 69% of QR's.
Expert Scan ships an update every 5 days, QR fortnightly. Both last shipped on November 7, 2026.
