ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Code 128 holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.4.

Written reviews complicate that: 57% of QR's written reviews are positive against 0% of Code 128's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

QR ships an update every 4 weeks, Code 128 every 38 months. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 15, 2026 respectively.
