Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QuickQR at 100% against QR Code Reader ®'s 33%. QuickQR also leads on update cadence (weekly vs every 4 weeks). QR Code Reader ®'s advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (14K vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

CostPrice · In-app purchases · Ads · Monetization

Both are free to download. QR Code Reader ® sells 10 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and QuickQR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR Code Reader ® holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader ® has 14K ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of QR Code Reader ®'s written reviews are positive against 100% of QuickQR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR Code Reader ® ships an update every 4 weeks, QuickQR weekly. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 5, 2026 respectively.
