ThisScan reads QR codes, barcodes and Data Matrix in an instant and turns every code into the right action — no typing, no guessing. WHAT IT DOES • Recognises links, Wi-Fi, contacts, phone numbers, SMS, email, locations, calendar events, crypto addresses and plain text — automatically • One-tap actions: open in Safari, call, message, compose an email, open in Maps, copy the Wi-Fi password, add to Contacts or Calendar • Torch for scanning in the dark • History with search, filters and favourites, stored on your device PREMIUM • Create your own QR codes: text, link, Wi-Fi, phone, email or SMS — save to Photos or share • Scan from your library: pick a screenshot or a picture, no camera needed • Unlimited history instead of the last 50 scans PRIVATE BY DESIGN Recognition runs on your device and your history stays there — nothing is uploaded. You don't need an account to scan, and there are no ads. CONNECTED ACCOUNT A separate feature for people who have been given access: an account is connected by scanning a special QR code. While it is connected, codes belonging to that account are sent to its server for processing. You can disconnect it at any time in Settings. SUBSCRIPTION Full access is a subscription with a 3-day free trial on the weekly plan: • Weekly — $7.99 (after a 3-day free trial) • Monthly — $19.99 • Yearly — $69.99 Payment is charged to your Apple ID at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your Apple ID account settings. Any unused portion of a free trial is forfeited when you buy a subscription. Terms of Use: https://thisscan.com/legal/terms.html Privacy Policy: https://thisscan.com/legal/privacy.html

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is in-app purchases: CamHi at none against ThisScan's 3. CamHi also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). ThisScan's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (daily vs every 3 months). On price and device support there is nothing between them.
