Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: QR 2 CSV at none against Qrafter's shown. QR 2 CSV also leads on review sentiment (100% vs 73%) and monetization model (free vs free with in-app purchases). Qrafter's advantage is ratings volume (4K vs 7). On price, in-app purchases, device support and iOS requirement 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. Qrafter sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per month and QR 2 CSV sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
