# FastPass vs QR Code Reader

FastPass and QR Code Reader both sit at 4.8 stars, but that hides the real split: 73% of FastPass's written reviews are positive against 24% of QR Code Reader's. FastPass also leads on monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription). QR Code Reader's advantage is ratings volume (124 vs 25) and device support (4 vs 2).
