Scanova review (2026): is the free plan enough?
Dynamic QR codes with landing pages, lead capture and scan analytics
Scanova report card
Good · out of 4.0 · graded Oct 23, 2026
Best for a few dynamic codes with landing pages and lead forms
Scanova makes dynamic codes in 26 categories, many with a phone landing page built in its editor, plus lead forms and rules that redirect by country or device. Basic is $5 a month billed yearly but holds only 3 codes in 12 categories, landing pages and lead capture start on Lite at $9, and Zapier, bulk changes and white-labeled pages wait for Standard at $35.
Who Scanova is for
- Fits if you need a handful of dynamic codes with a phone landing page and a lead form behind them
- Works for anyone who wants one dynamic code paid for once, through Ultra Lite at $150
Who Scanova is not for
- Tight if you start on Basic: it's sold yearly only and holds 3 codes, and every plan caps codes in total
- Pricey if you need Zapier, bulk changes or white-labeled pages, which start on Standard at $35 a month yearly ($50 monthly)
- Skip it if you want to keep trial codes without paying, as they stop working when the 14 days end
- Watch out: SSO and the dynamic QR code API are only on Enterprise, which is priced by quote
- Watch out: Lite's lead pages carry a Powered by Scanova footer, extra Pro users are $60 a year each and extra domains $120
Why Scanova gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyBasic is $5 a month, billed yearly only, inside this category's cheaper quarter of $6.08, but it's 3 codes with 30 days of analytics. Landing pages need Lite at $9, the category's middle, and Zapier and bulk need Standard at $35.
- CFree plan and trialA 14-day trial with no card, and static codes from the free generator work forever. But there's no free plan for dynamic codes, and the ones made in the trial stop working unless you subscribe.
- BFeaturesDynamic codes in 26 categories, landing pages, lead forms, redirects by country or device, passwords and expiry dates, analytics up to GPS location, bulk changes and a code health check. Nothing in the core job is missing; the limits are in the plan you pick.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. It's a web account where you build landing pages and forms, and each plan caps how many codes you can hold in total.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb only, with Google Analytics, webhooks and Slack from Lite, Zapier and ad pixels from Standard, and HubSpot and an MCP connection on Pro. No phone or desktop app.

Keep Scanova, or make your own?
Keep it
The plain part of Scanova you could make: qR codes. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 7 of the 10 other QR code generators we grade. It costs $60 a year.
What you could make
- QR codes: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- It plugs into other products, Google Analytics, Zapier and Slack among them, and has an API.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
- The depth: we grade its features B, which means it covers the whole job.
What this rests on. Scanova’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.
