Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is ads: QR Code Scanner & QR Gen at none against QR Scanner''s shown. QR Code Scanner & QR Gen also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 2 months) and review sentiment (92% vs 75%). QR Scanner''s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3) and ratings volume (548 vs 46). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Scanner' sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and QR Code Scanner & QR Gen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR Scanner' holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Scanner' has 548 ratings behind it against 46, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 75% of QR Scanner''s written reviews are positive against 92% of QR Code Scanner & QR Gen's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR Scanner' ships an update every 2 months, QR Code Scanner & QR Gen fortnightly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 3, 2026 respectively.
