# QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro vs FastScan

The clearest difference is ads: QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro at none against FastScan's shown. QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro also leads on ratings volume (2.9K vs 3) and chart position (#199 vs unranked). FastScan's advantage is review sentiment (100% vs 67%) and rating (5.0 vs 4.7). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro sells 8 in-app purchases, starting at $6.99 per 7 days and FastScan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $29.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

FastScan holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.7. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro has 2.9K ratings behind it against 3, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews point the same way: 67% of QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of FastScan's.

QR Code Reader＋Generator Pro ships an update fortnightly, FastScan every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on September 30, 2026 and July 10, 2026 respectively.
