Verdict
The clearest difference is ratings volume: QR Pro at 29K against Scandit SDK Showcase's 238. QR Pro also leads on rating (4.5 vs 4.3) and update cadence (weekly vs fortnightly). On price, review sentiment, ads and in-app purchases 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. Neither carries in-app purchases, so what you see is what you pay.
QR Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 4.3. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Pro has 29K ratings behind it against 238, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 74% of Scandit SDK Showcase's written reviews are positive against 72% of QR Pro's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
Scandit SDK Showcase ships an update fortnightly, QR Pro weekly. The most recent releases landed on September 2, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
