Verdict
The clearest difference is review sentiment: Puppet Pals at 71% against Cloud QR Generator's 26%. Cloud QR Generator's advantage is rating (4.8 vs 3.8) and update cadence (every 2 weeks vs every 6 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model 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. Puppet Pals sells 10 one-off in-app purchases and Cloud QR Generator sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $0.49 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
Cloud QR Generator holds the better App Store score, 4.8 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Cloud QR Generator has 399 ratings behind it against 53, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 71% of Puppet Pals's written reviews are positive against 26% of Cloud QR Generator's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Puppet Pals ships an update every 6 months, Cloud QR Generator every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on November 1, 2026.
