Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader at 4.5 against QRReader's 3.6. Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader also leads on ratings volume (2.1K vs 5) and iOS requirement (10.3 vs 13.0). QRReader's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 78%). On price, update cadence, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per month and QRReader sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader has 2.1K ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 78% of Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader's written reviews are positive against 100% of QRReader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Barcode Scanner QR Code Reader ships an update every 3 weeks, QRReader fortnightly. Both last shipped on September 19, 2026.
