# Scan QR Code vs QR Code

The clearest difference is rating: QR Code at 5.0 against Scan QR Code's 4.2. Scan QR Code's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and ratings volume (13 vs 1). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan QR Code sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and QR Code sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Code holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Scan QR Code has 13 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.

Scan QR Code ships an update every 8 days, QR Code every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 3, 2026 and October 6, 2026 respectively.
