Scan and preview URLs for secure online navigation. Make sure you see the link before you visit it. You can swipe and delete or hit "Go" to visit the website. Frequently visited sites are saved automatically in history for instant access, eliminating the need to rescan QR codes. Why QR Inspector? Safety: Some QR codes can lead you to harmful or unsafe website. It is best to see the full URL before deciding to open the link in your browser. Convenience: No need to have the QR code once you scanned it once. It is automatically saved in the app history until you choose to delete it. This way you can visit that page over and over again. More than that, you can copy all the URL's in the app and paste them to your Notes or email for sending them to your friends and family, or just to bookmark them on your computer browser.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: QR Code Inspector at Free against Specs's $2.99. QR Code Inspector also leads on iOS requirement (18.6 vs 26.0). Specs's advantage is update cadence (every 2 months vs every 25 months) and device support (4 vs 2). On ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
