Keep QR.io, or make your own?
Your call
You could make the core of QR.io 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 $479.88 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.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. QR.io’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.
