# Camera Scanner vs Your QR Code Scanner

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Your QR Code Scanner at 57% against Camera Scanner's 13%. Your QR Code Scanner also leads on update cadence (every 2 weeks vs monthly) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.0). Camera Scanner's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 4.0) and ratings volume (6.4K vs 534). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Camera Scanner sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $1.49 per 7 days and Your QR Code Scanner sells 12 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Camera Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camera Scanner has 6.4K ratings behind it against 534, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 13% of Camera Scanner's written reviews are positive against 57% of Your QR Code Scanner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Camera Scanner ships an update monthly, Your QR Code Scanner every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 20, 2026 respectively.
