Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Camect Viewer at 100% against QR's 33%. Camect Viewer also leads on update cadence (every 2 months vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (6 vs 1). QR's advantage is rating (5.0 vs 4.3). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
QR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Camect Viewer has 6 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of QR's written reviews are positive against 100% of Camect Viewer's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR ships an update every 7 months, Camect Viewer every 2 months. The most recent releases landed on October 2, 2026 and October 3, 2026 respectively.
