Which one is for you
Pick ME-QR if
- Fits if you need lots of trackable codes for a personal project and don't mind ads before the scan
- Works for small groups sharing codes through folders, with view-only or edit access
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if the people scanning are your customers, as free codes show them ads and Lite clears just one code
- Pricey if you pay monthly: Premium is $15.99 a month against $103.99 for a whole year
- Watch out: cancel Premium and your codes keep working, but the ads come back on them
- Watch out: file storage past the plan's 100 MB or 500 MB costs $0.99 for each 100 MB
- Watch out: the terms name ME Team L.L.C-FZ in the United Arab Emirates, while the about page names ME TEAM LTD
Pick QR TIGER if
- Fits if you want a few dynamic codes on a plan you can pay month to month
- Works for marketers who tag scans with UTM codes and read them in Google Analytics
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free, as each dynamic code stops at 500 scans and every scan shows a QR TIGER popup
- Pricey if you need bulk codes, Google Analytics, Zapier or HubSpot, which start on Advanced at $192 a year
- Watch out: only Regular can be paid monthly; Advanced, Premium and Professional are billed yearly
- Watch out: refunds are decided case by case, according to the FAQ
How we grade them
| 2.4GPAME-QRFair | 3.0GPAQR TIGERVery good | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | BLite is $6.08 a month billed yearly ($72.99), at the line of this category's cheaper quarter, but it takes ads off one code only. Ad-free codes need Premium at $8.67 a month yearly, still under the category's middle of $9. | 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 | BUp to 10,000 dynamic codes free, with unlimited scans, no expiry, a year of analytics and 100 MB for files, which one person won't outgrow. The cost is that everyone who scans a free code sees ads. | 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 | CDynamic codes in many types, hosted files, shared folders, scheduled, expiring and one-time codes, and an email after each scan. The gaps: no landing-page builder on record, and Google Analytics UTM tags are its only tie to other tools. | 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. Dynamic codes live in an account with folders, file storage and ad settings to keep track of. | 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 | CWeb only in the listing, and the only link to other tools is Google Analytics UTM tags. No phone or desktop app on record. | 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. |
| Best for | many free dynamic codes, if ads on scans are fine | a few dynamic codes paid month to month |

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.
