Verdict

The call

QR Scanner Pro * and QR Code Reader both sit at 4.1 stars, but that hides the real split: 66% of QR Scanner Pro *'s written reviews are positive against 50% of QR Code Reader's. QR Scanner Pro * also leads on ratings volume (1.3K vs 139) and chart position (#84 vs unranked). QR Code Reader's advantage is device support (3 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 17.6). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.
