Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is rating: iQR Scanner Pro at 4.4 against QR Code Reader's 3.9. QR Code Reader's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and review sentiment (50% vs 17%). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iQR Scanner Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.4 against 3.9. Both are backed by a comparable volume of ratings — 33 and 139 respectively.
