# Push Notification vs QR Debug

The clearest difference is rating: QR Debug at 5.0 against Push Notification's 4.1. QR Debug also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 1) and ads (none vs shown). Push Notification's advantage is update cadence (fortnightly vs every 15 months) and ratings volume (58 vs 5). On price and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Push Notification sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. QR Debug asks for nothing beyond the download.

QR Debug holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Push Notification has 58 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of Push Notification's written reviews are positive against 100% of QR Debug's.

Push Notification ships an update fortnightly, QR Debug every 15 months. The most recent releases landed on September 29, 2026 and September 30, 2026 respectively.
