Both are free to download. QR Code & Barcode Scanner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and QR Code Reader™ + sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
QR Code Reader™ + holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code & Barcode Scanner has 1.2K ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 77% of QR Code & Barcode Scanner's written reviews are positive against 50% of QR Code Reader™ +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR Code & Barcode Scanner ships an update every 2 months, QR Code Reader™ + every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 3, 2026 and October 26, 2026 respectively.
