Verdict

The call

QR Code Reader, Barcode Reader and QRode both sit at 4.4 stars, but that hides the real split: 79% of QR Code Reader, Barcode Reader's written reviews are positive against 33% of QRode's. QR Code Reader, Barcode Reader also leads on ratings volume (1.1K vs 118). QRode's advantage is update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly) and iOS requirement (10.0 vs 13.0). On price, rating, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QRode holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader, Barcode Reader has 1.1K ratings behind it against 118, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 79% of QR Code Reader, Barcode Reader's written reviews are positive against 33% of QRode's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR Code Reader, Barcode Reader ships an update fortnightly, QRode weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 24, 2026 and August 2, 2026 respectively.
