# QR Code Wallet vs QR Code Reader

The clearest difference is rating: QR Code Reader at 4.7 against QR Code Wallet's 3.7. QR Code Reader also leads on ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (128 vs 3). QR Code Wallet's advantage is monetization model (free with in-app purchases vs subscription) and review sentiment (50% vs 24%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Wallet sells 1 one-off in-app purchase and QR Code Reader sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $7.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Code Reader holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 3.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader has 128 ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 50% of QR Code Wallet's written reviews are positive against 24% of QR Code Reader's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

QR Code Wallet ships an update every 8 days, QR Code Reader every 10 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
