3.0

GPA, above 19 of the 22 other QR code generators we grade

The report card

Best for free static QR codes and a free API

goQR.me makes static QR codes for free, with several download formats and an open API, and commercial use is allowed. 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.

ToolGPA report cardgoQR.meGraded Nov 12, 2026
SubjectGradeComment
Value for moneyAThe 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 trialAFree outright for static codes, with commercial use allowed. No cap is stated for the API.
FeaturesCStatic 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 useBNo store rating on record. A web tool with nothing to set up: type, pick a format, download.
Platforms and integrationsCWeb only, plus an API for developers. No integrations are listed.
Grade point averageVery good, out of 4.03.0

An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Who goQR.me is for

  • Fits if you want a static code and never need to change it
  • Works for developers who want a free QR image API

Who it is not for

  • Not for you if you need to change a printed code, as the free codes are static
  • Pricey if you want dynamic codes: QR-Server Starter allows only 1, for €60 net a year
  • Watch out: QR-Server prices are net of tax in euros, on 3 or 12 month contracts
  • Watch out: custom short domains and bulk import are only on the Agency plan, €588 a year

Good to know

Good for

  • Anyone who needs a plain static QR code for free, including for commercial use
  • Developers who want a QR code API without a key or a stated request limit
  • Agencies that want a low-cost editable-code service billed in euros

Worth knowing

  • The free generator makes static codes only; changing a code's target after printing needs a QR-Server plan.
  • QR-Server prices are in euros and shown net of tax, and contracts run three or twelve months.
  • Starter allows 1 dynamic code; custom short domains and bulk import are limited to the Agency plan.
  • The free site shows an ad for a print-on-demand shop beside the code.

Keep it, or make your own?

Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.

Your call

You could make the core of goQR.me for yourself: qR codes and reports.

What you would give up is listed below. Whether that is worth the price is your call. It costs $67.03 a year.

What you could make

  • QR codes and reports: an app builder makes these well.
  • It runs in a browser, which is where something home-made would run too.

What you could not

  • An API that other software can build on.

What this rests on. goQR.me’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
