Share your Wi-Fi with a QR code your guests scan. They point their camera and join: no app to install, no password to type, any phone, even offline. No more dictating "uppercase B, lowercase 3, special character…". No more screenshots of the router sticker. HOW IT WORKS 1. Save a network: detect the one you're connected to, type it in, or scan its Wi-Fi QR code 2. Tap Share and choose "Show a QR code" or "Send to a nearby phone" 3. Your guest scans the QR with their camera, or accepts your send. They're online. WI-FI QR CODE FOR GUESTS (FREE) • Create a QR code for any saved network, free • Guests scan it with their phone's camera. They don't need any app, whatever the brand. • Show it on your screen, share it as an image, or print it • No internet needed to join: the QR holds the network name and password SEND OVER BLUETOOTH • Send a Wi-Fi password to a nearby phone, whatever the brand • Both phones need WiFi Share. No internet needed: the transfer goes straight from phone to phone • End-to-end encrypted and confirmed with a 4-digit code on both screens • Nobody on the radar? Show a QR code instead, in one tap • Choose when you're visible: always, only when receiving, or never WI-FI QR SCANNER • Scan the Wi-Fi QR code on a router, hotel card or café table (WPA, WPA2, WPA3, open networks) • Save the network and join without typing a single character KEEP YOUR NETWORKS ORGANIZED • Your saved Wi-Fi passwords in one place: home, office, family, holiday rentals • Folders for Home, Work, Travel and Family (Pro) • Share history, so you know who you sent what and when PRIVATE BY DESIGN Passwords are stored in your device's secure Keychain and only leave your phone when you share them.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: ScanBridge at none against WiFi Share's 1. ScanBridge also leads on device support (3 vs 1). On price, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
