# Scan Barcode vs QR Reader

The clearest difference is rating: QR Reader at 3.8 against Scan Barcode's 1.0. QR Reader also leads on ratings volume (24 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. Scan Barcode sells 3 in-app purchases, starting at $4.99 per 7 days and QR Reader sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $2.99 per 7 days. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

QR Reader holds the better App Store score, 3.8 against 1.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Reader has 24 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
