# QR Code vs X Cleanup

The clearest difference is review sentiment: X Cleanup at 100% against QR Code's 50%. X Cleanup also leads on update cadence (every 4 days vs every 3 weeks) and rating (5.0 vs 4.8). QR Code's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (114 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and X Cleanup sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

X Cleanup holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code has 114 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 50% of QR Code's written reviews are positive against 100% of X Cleanup's.

QR Code ships an update every 3 weeks, X Cleanup every 4 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
