# QR Code vs Digital Coupons

The clearest difference is rating: QR Code at 4.5 against Digital Coupons's 2.2. QR Code also leads on ratings volume (13K vs 6). Digital Coupons's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 7) and update cadence (every 3 days vs every 9 days). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code sells 7 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Digital Coupons asks for nothing beyond the download.

QR Code holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code has 13K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two.

QR Code ships an update every 9 days, Digital Coupons every 3 days. The most recent releases landed on September 23, 2026 and September 17, 2026 respectively.
