Which one is for you

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

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

CEssential is $9 a month billed yearly, the middle of what QR code tools charge, for 15 dynamic codes and 50,000 scans a year. There's no monthly option, and integrations, the API and routing rules need Core at $49 a month.

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.
CStatic codes are free with no cap, and so is one digital business card, but static codes can't be edited or tracked. Dynamic codes need a plan, and the ones made in the 14-day trial stop working if you don't upgrade.
Features

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.
