# Scanner vs Your QR Code Scanner

The clearest difference is rating: Scanner at 4.7 against Your QR Code Scanner's 4.0. Scanner also leads on ratings volume (11K vs 534). Your QR Code Scanner's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 73 months). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 3 months 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.

Scanner holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scanner has 11K ratings behind it against 534, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 49% of 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.

Scanner ships an update every 73 months, Your QR Code Scanner every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 19, 2026 and October 17, 2026 respectively.
