Which one is for you

Pick QR.net if

  • Fits if you need one dynamic code for a menu or flyer
  • Works for someone who only needs static codes

Look elsewhere if

  • Tight if you need many codes, as Starter has 1 and Advanced 10
  • Watch out: prices are in euros including VAT, billed once a year
  • Watch out: membership ends at the year's end unless renewed, and there is no cancellation period
  • Watch out: the page does not say which plans include the API and logo

Pick Uniqode if

  • Fits if you print codes on packaging or signs and need to change where they lead later
  • Works for companies that want QR codes and staff business cards in the same account

Look elsewhere if

  • Watch out: every plan is billed yearly, and going past your yearly scan allowance means moving up a plan
  • Skip it if you might stop paying, since dynamic codes stop redirecting when the plan or the trial ends
  • Pricey if you need integrations or the API, which start on Core at $49 a month, or retargeting, which needs Business+ at $399
  • Tight if more than one person makes codes: Essential and Core have one user, and Plus is $99 a month for three
  • Watch out: a custom domain is a $500-a-year Plus add-on in the plan table but $2,000 a domain in the pricing FAQ

Smart Rules and location routing
From Core, one code can send people to different content by device, language, day or time, or location, and codes can be password-protected or age-gated.
Scan analytics
Every plan counts scans. Core adds time of day, device, city and GPS location, plus CSV export. Scan history runs from 60 days on Essential to lifetime on Business+.
Linkpages and forms
Mobile landing pages with several links, and a form builder for leads and surveys. Each plan includes 100 form responses a year; more are a paid add-on.

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.
