# My QR Code Scanner & Reader. vs TimeGrow

My QR Code Scanner & Reader.'s advantage is ratings volume (111 vs 7). On price, review sentiment, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. My QR Code Scanner & Reader. sells 15 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days and TimeGrow sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per month. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
