# Scan QR Code Now vs Spider Identifier

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Spider Identifier at none against Scan QR Code Now's 4. Spider Identifier also leads on ads (none vs shown) and rating (4.9 vs 4.6). Scan QR Code Now's advantage is ratings volume (13K vs 14) and chart position (#20 vs unranked). On price there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan QR Code Now sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $5.99 per 7 days. Spider Identifier asks for nothing beyond the download.

Spider Identifier holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.6. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan QR Code Now has 13K ratings behind it against 14, so its average is the more settled of the two.
