ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

iQR Scanner Pro holds the better App Store score, 4.3 against 3.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: iQR Scanner Pro has 59 ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 14% of iQR Scanner Pro's written reviews are positive against 100% of PixelQR Scan's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

iQR Scanner Pro ships an update every 3 weeks, PixelQR Scan every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on November 12, 2026 and November 13, 2026 respectively.
