# QR Code Scanner vs Cleaner PRO

The clearest difference is rating: Cleaner PRO at 4.3 against QR Code Scanner's 3.0. Cleaner PRO also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 24 months). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Scanner sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days and Cleaner PRO sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $19.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Cleaner PRO holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cleaner PRO has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
