Qrlab vs Uniqode (2026): which should you pick?

Pick Qrlab if

• Fits if you only need static codes
• Works for someone who also wants NFC tags

Look elsewhere if

• Watch out: dynamic plan prices are not on public pages
• Tight if you want editing or tracking, as that needs the dynamic plan
• Watch out: many menu items on its pages are marked Coming soon
• Skip it if you want apps or integrations, as none are listed

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

Qrlab

• Dynamic plan prices are not on public pages; the support page says they sit in the pricing section of an account.
• The vendor's own how-it-works and support pages show many menu items marked Coming soon.
• Static codes are free; editing, scan tracking, custom URLs and geofencing need the dynamic plan.

Uniqode

• Plans are billed yearly only. Scan allowances reset once a year, and going over means moving to a higher plan.
• Dynamic codes stop redirecting if the subscription or the free trial ends without an upgrade.
• Essential and Core have one user. Integrations and the API start on Core; Meta Pixel and Google Ads retargeting need Business+.
• A custom domain is a Plus add-on at $500 a year in the plan table, while the pricing FAQ gives $2,000 per domain a year.

Qrlab

Many destinations

The generator lists link, file, vCard, menu, WiFi, link page, media, contact, payment, app, custom page, poll, event RSVP and booking options.

Scan tracking

Dynamic codes track scans with analytics on frequency and locations.

Custom link and URL masking

Dynamic codes can use a custom link for the destination, plus URL masking, according to the support page.

Geofencing

Geofencing restricts a code so only people inside a chosen location reach the destination.

Design tools

Codes can be restyled with shapes, colors, images and frames.

Uniqode

Dynamic QR codes

Change where a code leads after it is printed. More than 15 code types cover websites, PDFs, locations, menus, app downloads and contact cards.

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.

Bulk creation and API

Create dynamic codes in batches on every plan. The API starts on Core with 250,000 requests a month and rises to 2 million on Business+.

Digital business cards

Cards shared by QR code, link, or Apple and Google Wallet, with an iPhone app. The first card is free; the Team plan is $6 per user a month, billed yearly.
