# QR Code Scanner Pro * vs Deep Cleaner

The clearest difference is monetization model: QR Code Scanner Pro * at freemium against Deep Cleaner's subscription. QR Code Scanner Pro * also leads on review sentiment (84% vs 53%). Deep Cleaner's advantage is ratings volume (3.6K vs 329) and device support (3 vs 1). On price, rating, update cadence and ads there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Scanner Pro * sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Deep Cleaner sells 6 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Deep Cleaner holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.4. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Deep Cleaner has 3.6K ratings behind it against 329, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 84% of QR Code Scanner Pro *'s written reviews are positive against 53% of Deep Cleaner's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Both ship on a similar rhythm, roughly every 2 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 21, 2026 respectively.
