QRCodeChimp report card
Fair · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for codes, business cards and event tickets in one account
QRCodeChimp makes static and dynamic codes with landing pages, plus NFC business cards, forms and event tickets in the same account. The free plan's 10 dynamic codes share 1,000 scans a month and pause when that runs out, no integrations or API are on record, and if a paid plan isn't renewed, all but your last 10 dynamic codes are paused.
Who QRCodeChimp is for
- Fits if you want codes and NFC business cards for a small team in one account
- Works for event organizers sending QR tickets by email
Who QRCodeChimp is not for
- Tight if you're staying free: 10 dynamic codes share 1,000 scans a month, and scans pause once that's used
- Skip it if you might stop paying, since all but your last 10 dynamic codes are paused when a plan isn't renewed
- Not for you if you want codes feeding other apps, as the listing names no integrations or API
- Pricey if you want your own domain, which starts on Ultima at $34.99 a month yearly ($49.99 monthly)
- Watch out: more than 900 dynamic codes means the Ultima 2x to 5x plans, up to $174.95 a month billed yearly
Why QRCodeChimp gets a 2.2
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- CValue for moneyStarter is $6.99 a month billed yearly ($9.99 monthly), between this category's cheaper quarter ($6.08) and its middle ($9), for 50 dynamic codes and 10,000 scans a month. Your own domain needs Ultima at $34.99.
- BFree plan and trialFree for good: unlimited static codes, 10 dynamic codes, 1 business card and 2 folders, which one person can live on. The edge is 1,000 scans a month shared across the codes, after which scans pause, and 5 form responses a month.
- CFeaturesDynamic codes with landing pages, NFC business cards for Apple and Google Wallet, forms, event tickets, analytics with UTM tracking, and SSO and Entra ID on higher plans. The gap: no integrations or API on record.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. It's a web account where you design landing pages, cards and forms, with monthly scan and response limits to watch.
- CPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with no integrations or API on record. Business cards save to Apple and Google Wallet, but there's no phone or desktop app for making codes.

Keep QRCodeChimp, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of QRCodeChimp you could make: qR codes, digital business card and forms. What surrounds it you could not. The 2 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 7 of the 10 other QR code generators grade higher. It costs $83.88 a year.
What you could make
- QR codes, digital business card and forms: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- What a company asks for before it lets staff use something: single sign-on.
What this rests on. QRCodeChimp’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.
