## ToolGPA grades

**GPA: 2.6 out of 4**, graded Oct 23, 2026. 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.

- **Value for money: B.** Basic 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.
- **Free plan and trial: C.** A 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.
- **Features: B.** Dynamic 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.
- **Ease of use: C.** No 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.
- **Platforms and integrations: B.** Web 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 it, 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.

- You could make: QR codes: an app builder makes this well.
- You could not: It plugs into other products, Google Analytics, Zapier and Slack 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.
