Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is review sentiment: QRoo at 71% against QR's 33%. QRoo also leads on update cadence (monthly vs every 7 months) and ratings volume (38 vs 1). QR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 1) and rating (5.0 vs 4.6). On price, ads, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QRoo sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. QR asks for nothing beyond the download.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

QR holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QRoo has 38 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 71% of QRoo'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 7 months, QRoo monthly. Both last shipped on September 9, 2026.
