Which one is for you
Pick Scanova if
- Fits if you need a handful of dynamic codes with a phone landing page and a lead form behind them
- Works for anyone who wants one dynamic code paid for once, through Ultra Lite at $150
Look elsewhere if
- Tight if you start on Basic: it's sold yearly only and holds 3 codes, and every plan caps codes in total
- Pricey if you need Zapier, bulk changes or white-labeled pages, which start on Standard at $35 a month yearly ($50 monthly)
- Skip it if you want to keep trial codes without paying, as they stop working when the 14 days end
- Watch out: SSO and the dynamic QR code API are only on Enterprise, which is priced by quote
- Watch out: Lite's lead pages carry a Powered by Scanova footer, extra Pro users are $60 a year each and extra domains $120
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

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.
