The-QRCode-Generator.com (also Bitly-owned, on the Uniqode platform) runs the most generous free tier of the big subscription platforms. Credit where due — and context where needed.
Unlimited static codes, plus 2 free dynamic codes — genuinely useful. The catches: free dynamic codes carry ads on the redirect, analytics are capped at 14 days of history, and watermark-free output is paid. Fine for testing; awkward on anything customer-facing.
Flex at £8/month billed annually (£96/year) removes ads, extends analytics to 60 days, adds GPS-level location and bulk tools. Reasonable features — recurring forever, and the codes stop if the subscription does.
Static codes: everything free with no watermark anywhere, logo, gradients, transparency, SVG. Editable codes: £10 once — ad-free redirects (obviously), scan counting, no analytics time-cap, no renewal. Three years of one code: £10 vs £288.
Their 2 free dynamic codes are real value if you can live with ads on the redirect and two-week analytics. The moment a code faces customers or goes to print, ad-free and permanent beats subscription — which is the £10 case.
Static codes yes; 2 dynamic codes free with ads on the redirect and 14-day analytics; watermark removal and full features need the £96/yr Flex plan.
The free dynamic codes do — scanners can pass an ad interstitial. Static codes redirect nowhere so carry nothing.
Subscription platforms start around £96/yr. Ours are £10 one-off per code with scan stats and no renewal — the cheapest route for small numbers of codes.
20 types, logos, colours and print-ready files — free, no signup, generated in your browser.
