# Pinzy vs Bar Code Reader ™

The clearest difference is review sentiment: Pinzy at 100% against Bar Code Reader ™'s 20%. Pinzy also leads on ads (none vs shown). Bar Code Reader ™'s advantage is rating (4.6 vs 4.3). On price, ratings volume, update cadence and in-app purchases there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Pinzy sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and Bar Code Reader ™ sells 4 in-app purchases, starting at $1.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Bar Code Reader ™ holds the better App Store score, 4.6 against 4.3. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 24 and 64 respectively. Written reviews complicate that: 100% of Pinzy's written reviews are positive against 20% of Bar Code Reader ™'s, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

Pinzy ships an update every 2 weeks, Bar Code Reader ™ every 9 days. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
