- **Bulk creation, API and MCP:** Advanced and up create up to 3,000 codes per batch. API allowances run from 500 requests a month on Regular to 50,000 operations on Professional.
- **Integrations:** Canva on every paid plan; Google Analytics, Zapier and HubSpot from Advanced.
- **Mobile apps:** iPhone and Android apps for creating and scanning codes on the go.

## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 3.0 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. QR TIGER makes static and dynamic codes for links, files, vCards and menus, with iPhone and Android apps and an API on every paid plan. Regular is $7 a month but has no bulk creation, Google Analytics or Zapier, the plans that do are billed yearly only, and free codes show a QR TIGER popup to everyone who scans them.

- **Value for money: B.** Regular is $7 a month, or $65 a year (about $5.42 a month), inside this category's cheaper quarter of $6.08, for 12 dynamic codes and unlimited scans. Bulk, Google Analytics and Zapier start on Advanced at $16 a month, billed yearly.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** Unlimited static codes and 3 dynamic codes free, with no card. But each free dynamic code stops at 500 scans, and every scan shows a QR TIGER logo popup.
- **Features: B.** Dynamic codes you can edit, clone, expire or lock with a password, multi-link codes, geofencing, scan alerts, UTM tags, bulk batches of 3,000, an API and an MCP server. Nothing in the core job is missing; most of it sits on Advanced and up.
- **Ease of use: A.** QR TIGER rates 4.8 on the US App Store from 1,645 ratings, which is the top of our ease ladder for a tool you sign up to and start using.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web plus iPhone and Android apps, an API and MCP server, and Canva, Google Analytics, Zapier and HubSpot. No desktop app, so it tops out here.

## Keep it, or make your own?

**Keep it.** The plain part of QR TIGER you could make: qR codes. What surrounds it you could not. The 4 things listed below take a company, not a weekend. It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 3.0 is higher than 9 of the 10 other QR code generators we grade. It costs $84 a year.

- You could make: QR codes: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Canva, Google Analytics and Zapier among them, and has an API.
- You could not: AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- You could not: The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
