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

- 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 QRStuff if
- Fits if you need a few static codes with no cost
- Works for a business that wants dynamic codes with scan locations

- Pricey if you want styling and logos, which start on Full Suite at $270 a year
- Watch out: SSO, roles and white label are Enterprise at $2,700 a year
- Watch out: the page names an Agency plan at $990 a year that the plan cards do not show

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.
