The catch is that editing a code after printing needs the separate QR-Server service, from €60 net a year for one dynamic code, and the free page shows an ad. - **Value for money: A.** The generator and the API are free, with no request limit stated. The paid QR-Server Starter is €60 net a year, about €5 a month, with Professional at €210. - **Free plan and trial: A.** Free outright for static codes, with commercial use allowed. No cap is stated for the API. - **Features: C.** Static codes in PNG, JPG, GIF, SVG, EPS and PDF with colour and error-correction options. Editable codes and scan statistics need a QR-Server plan. - **Ease of use: B.** No store rating on record. A web tool with nothing to set up: type, pick a format, download. - **Platforms and integrations: C.** Web only, plus an API for developers. No integrations are listed.
