# QR vs QR Code Toolbox+

The clearest difference is rating: QR Code Toolbox+ at 4.6 against QR's 4.0. QR Code Toolbox+ also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 4 days vs every 2 months). QR's advantage is device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.0). On price, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $3.99 per 7 days and QR Code Toolbox+ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Code Toolbox+ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Toolbox+ has 1.5K ratings behind it against 2, so its average is the more settled of the two.

QR ships an update every 2 months, QR Code Toolbox+ every 4 days. The most recent releases landed on September 19, 2026 and September 24, 2026 respectively.
