Which one is for you
Pick QR Code Generator PRO if
- Fits if you need a couple of editable codes for print with a phone landing page behind them
- Works for small teams that want codes sorted into folders, with separate logins
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you start on Starter, which allows only 2 dynamic codes and 10,000 tracked scans
- Pricey if you need more codes or the API, as Advanced ($18.99) and Professional ($49.99) are billed yearly only
- Watch out: cancelling takes an email at least 30 days before the term ends, and you can only downgrade after the first term
- Skip it if you want your codes feeding other apps, as the listing names no integrations
- Watch out: free static codes download as JPG only, and listed prices exclude VAT
Pick QRFY if
- Fits if a team needs many dynamic codes and everyone on it should have their own login
- Works for businesses making codes in bulk by CSV or API without a per-code limit
Look elsewhere if
- Skip it if you want a free plan, as there's none, only a 7-day trial
- Pricey if you're on your own: the year is $228 up front, and the shortest term is 3 months at $117
- Watch out: codes made in the trial are kept for three months but don't work until you subscribe
- Watch out: prices exclude VAT, and refunds come only within 14 days of the first payment if you haven't used it much
- Not for you if you want to make codes from a phone app, as QRFY is web only

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.
