# QR & Barcode Scan vs Fold

The clearest difference is ads: Fold at none against QR & Barcode Scan's shown. Fold also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.8). QR & Barcode Scan's advantage is ratings volume (47 vs 1) and iOS requirement (18.0 vs 26.0). On price, in-app purchases, monetization model and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR & Barcode Scan sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per 7 days and Fold sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.

Fold holds the better App Store score, 5.0 against 4.8. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR & Barcode Scan has 47 ratings behind it against 1, so its average is the more settled of the two.
