Value for money
DPro Plus is $25 a month billed yearly, or $60 monthly, which puts it in the dearest tenth of this category, where the middle is $9. CRM integrations and the API need Growth at $250 a month, billed yearly only.
BRegular is $7 a month, or $65 a year (about $5.42 a month), inside this category's cheaper quarter of $6.08, for 12 dynamic codes and unlimited scans. Bulk, Google Analytics and Zapier start on Advanced at $16 a month, billed yearly.
Free plan and trial
CFree for good with no ads: 2 Flowcodes, 2 landing pages and analytics for up to 500 scans. The codes keep scanning after that, but two codes is a cap you will hit.
CUnlimited static codes and 3 dynamic codes free, with no card. But each free dynamic code stops at 500 scans, and every scan shows a QR TIGER logo popup.
Features
CDesigned codes, landing pages, forms, routing by day, device or place, scan and click analytics and bulk creation. The gap the listing names: analytics stop at a scan cap on every priced plan, 6,000 on Pro Plus and 10,000 on Growth, though the codes keep working.
BDynamic codes you can edit, clone, expire or lock with a password, multi-link codes, geofencing, scan alerts, UTM tags, bulk batches of 3,000, an API and an MCP server. Nothing in the core job is missing; most of it sits on Advanced and up.
Ease of use
CNo rating on record. Pro Plus is self-serve, but Flowcode 2 is bought through a demo and set up by its team, and the analytics caps need watching.
AQR TIGER rates 4.8 on the US App Store from 1,645 ratings, which is the top of our ease ladder for a tool you sign up to and start using.
Platforms and integrations
BWeb only, with CRM and CDP connections and an API from Growth. The listing names no specific integration, and there's no phone or desktop app.
BWeb plus iPhone and Android apps, an API and MCP server, and Canva, Google Analytics, Zapier and HubSpot. No desktop app, so it tops out here.

How this page was made

  • The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
  • The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
  • Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
  • The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
