Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QR Code Scanner™ at none against QR Reader for mobile's 3. QR Code Scanner™ also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 3 weeks) and review sentiment (100% vs 71%). QR Reader for mobile's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (9.9K vs 7). On price, rating, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Reader for mobile sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days. QR Code Scanner™ asks for nothing beyond the download.
QR Reader for mobile holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Reader for mobile has 9.9K ratings behind it against 7, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of QR Code Scanner™'s written reviews are positive against 71% of QR Reader for mobile's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR Code Scanner™ ships an update daily, QR Reader for mobile every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on November 7, 2026 and November 14, 2026 respectively.
