Safe QR Scanner is the simplest way to scan QR codes without falling for phishing or malware traps. Every time you point your camera at a code, we check the destination URL against known threat patterns and warn you if something is off — before you ever open the link. No more accidentally tapping a sketchy redirect from a sticker on a bus stop or a flyer in a coffee shop. WHY USE SAFE QR SCANNER • Scan Without Worry — sniff out phishing, malware, and dodgy redirects before you ever open the link • Fast When It Matters — one tap to scan; trusted links open right away with optional confirmation • Fully On-Device — your scan history stays on your phone. Nothing sent to a server • Built-in Privacy — we don't read the contents of QR codes you scan; only the URL is checked for safety signals • Verdicts Up Front — every scan shows a clear safety status: safe, suspicious, dangerous, or unverified PREMIUM FEATURES Premium unlocks the safety verification on every scan and gives you the full Scan History tab so you can revisit and re-open any code you've ever scanned. Try free for 3 days, then continue weekly or yearly. Cancel anytime in iPhone Settings. WHAT YOU GET • Real-time link safety analysis powered by phishing and malware classifiers • Fast scanner with finder brackets and audio/haptic feedback • Smart per-link confirmation: trusted sites can open instantly, suspicious ones always ask • Privacy-first design — no account, no tracking, no third-party data sharing • Scan history with timestamps, status badges, and one-tap re-open PERFECT FOR • Anyone who scans posters, restaurant menus, or shipping labels • People worried about phishing-by-QR (a real threat — codes are now used in scams) • Travelers who scan unfamiliar Wi-Fi codes • Parents who want to check links before passing the phone to a kid Subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage in Settings > [Apple ID] > Subscriptions. Privacy Policy and Terms of Use are linked from the in-app paywall and Settings.

Verdict
The clearest difference is iOS requirement: Scan It at 16.0 against QR Code's 26.0. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
