Which one is for you
Pick QRCodeChimp if
- Fits if you want codes and NFC business cards for a small team in one account
- Works for event organizers sending QR tickets by email
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you're staying free: 10 dynamic codes share 1,000 scans a month, and scans pause once that's used
- Skip it if you might stop paying, since all but your last 10 dynamic codes are paused when a plan isn't renewed
- Not for you if you want codes feeding other apps, as the listing names no integrations or API
- Pricey if you want your own domain, which starts on Ultima at $34.99 a month yearly ($49.99 monthly)
- Watch out: more than 900 dynamic codes means the Ultima 2x to 5x plans, up to $174.95 a month billed yearly
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.
