Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QR Code at 4.5 against ClickFree's 4.1. QR Code also leads on update cadence (every 9 days vs every 2 months) and ratings volume (13K vs 1.2K). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.
Scored on Price · Rating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings · Update frequency · Ads · In-app purchases · Monetization · Best chart rank · Devices · Requires iOS
Both are free to download. ClickFree sells 4 one-off in-app purchases and QR Code sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
QR Code holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.1. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code has 13K ratings behind it against 1.2K, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 26% of ClickFree's written reviews are positive against 33% of QR Code's.
ClickFree ships an update every 2 months, QR Code every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on September 22, 2026 and September 23, 2026 respectively.
