QR-Code-Generator.com (Bitly-owned) is a polished, capable platform. It is also the most expensive way most small businesses will ever run one QR code. The facts, checkable on their pricing page:
Static codes download as JPG only — no PNG, no SVG. Design features are limited. Dynamic codes exist only in the 14-day trial, and trial codes deactivate when the trial ends — the classic story behind "my printed codes stopped working".
Starter from ~$9.99–19.99/month for 2 dynamic codes and 10,000 scans. Advanced $191.88/year for 50 codes. Professional $563.88/year. Stop paying on any tier and every printed code dies at the redirect server.
Static: everything free — SVG, PNG, JPEG to 4096px, logos, gradients, transparency, 20 types, no watermark, no trial clock. Editable: £10 per code, once — repoint forever, scan counts included, promised for as long as we trade. One café menu over three years: £10 here, $575.64 there.
Hundreds of managed codes, team seats, SSO, API quotas and compliance paperwork — enterprise needs, enterprise pricing, fair enough. For one to twenty codes on real-world print, you are the person the subscription model is built to overcharge.
Its free tier makes static codes with JPG-only download. Dynamic codes require a paid plan; trial dynamic codes deactivate after 14 days.
Dynamic codes on any subscription platform stop redirecting when you stop paying. Printed material becomes waste. Our £10 codes have no subscription to cancel.
Published pricing: Starter ~$120–240/yr equivalent, Advanced $191.88/yr, Professional $563.88/yr (October 2026 — verify on their pricing page).
20 types, logos, colours and print-ready files — free, no signup, generated in your browser.
