ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iBarcoder holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 3.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Barcode Generator + has 11 ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of iBarcoder's written reviews are positive against 50% of Barcode Generator +'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iBarcoder ships an update fortnightly, Barcode Generator + every 7 months. The most recent releases landed on October 13, 2026 and September 29, 2026 respectively.
