# QR Code vs Family

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Family at 100% against QR Code's 33%. Family also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 7) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 14.0). QR Code's advantage is rating (4.5 vs 2.5) and ratings volume (13K vs 2). 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. Family asks for nothing beyond the download.

QR Code holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 2.5. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code has 13K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 33% of QR Code's written reviews are positive against 100% of Family's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
