Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App at 4.7 against QR's 4.0. QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App also leads on update cadence (fortnightly vs every 18 months) and ratings volume (140K vs 6). QR's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 49) and ads (none vs shown). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App sells 32 in-app purchases, starting at $0.99 per 7 days. QR asks for nothing beyond the download.
QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App holds the better App Store score, 4.7 against 4.0. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App has 140K ratings behind it against 6, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 80% of QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App's written reviews are positive against 83% of QR's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.
QR Code Reader/QR Scanner App ships an update fortnightly, QR every 18 months. The most recent releases landed on October 1, 2026 and August 17, 2026 respectively.
