# OCR Scanner vs Scan QR

The clearest difference is ads: Scan QR at none against OCR Scanner's shown. OCR Scanner's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (13.0 vs 16.0). On price and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
