Top Rated QR Code Generator Pro Alternatives
Nothing its a scam website that creates QR codes that expire without notice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The website creates QR codes that expire without notice, requiring you to pay a "Ransome" or subscription in order to keep the codes working. The website does not disclose that the "Free" codes expire, leading many users to bring their codes to print, only to find out a few weeks later they will have to pay a substantial amount in order to keep them operational. This website should be investigated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I thought it was simple to use (until I got to the deceitful checkout and customer service experience). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used them for a project, it was not nearly as clear as it should have been that my QR code would deactivate after a few days. When I realized this (too late), I went to purchase a 1 month subscription, only to find I was billed annually, another thing that wasn't nearly as clear as it should have been doing checkout. This is a company that clearly tries to convert paid users by obscuring their pricing and policies. When I reached out to customer support, they refused to downgrade me to a monthly plan, issue a refund, or make any exception whatsoever. There are a lot of QR code generators out there, I strongly recommend you choose another option and do not bother with any of the free or paid services from this company. It's not a place that cares about their customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I 100% regret inadvertently believing I could create a FREE QR code only to have it deactivated in 14 days. I should know this was Bait to Switch for an expensive product. Following deactivation, I believed I was activating my QR Code for a total of $9.99 only to find out I purchased a $120 product. I immediately tried to cancel the purchase but there is not a phone number and the AI Bot was not helpful. Through various emails with "customer service" I learned I paid $120 to create 2 QR Codes. And, there are absolutely no refunds ever given and no exceptions to this policy (insert BIG red flag). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
While this very expensive lesson cost me a lot and took supply money away from my students, I will continuing sharing/educating others in hopes that no other educator takes the BAIT and pays dearly as I did!
$120 for 1 User and 2 QR Codes. That is $60 per QR Code. There are FREE and appropriately priced QR Code Generators for educators who are trying to meet the multifaceted needs of students and stakeholders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We use this constantly for our clients that are wanting QR codes for their events. Clients use our website for their ticketing needs and quite often then ask us to create them a QR code for the event so that they can post it on their social media or on flyers.

We have not found anything that we dislike about the product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Erm, nothing? What they do for a fee (undisclosed fee!) can be done just as well for free elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They do not inform you up front that the QR codes you are generating will seem to work fine for 2 weeks and then will be disabled. Those 2 weeks are just enough time to get everything printed off and distributed and then they hold you hostage. They will claim that they have a free plan, but they never tell you that there is a difference between dynamic and static codes and the way to choose a static code is very effectively hidden - the end result is that you are unable to switch to the free plan unless you abandon all the codes you used (printed, distributed) and create new ones. I thought I could switch to a paid plan for a month and at least the majority of the scans of my now-printed-and-distributed codes would be valid, but, NO, you can't sign up for a month. You have to sign up for a year and there's no partial refund even if I cancel after a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Making our own customized QR code. I find the different options to make different QR codes very helpful. Like website, social media, pdf, images, etc. Customer support is better in this QR code generator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The scanning of the QR code takes longer as mentioned by our customers. Could this QR code generator detect the mobile device in which they are getting scanned? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Honestly, after this, nothing. It is no easier to use than QRCodeMonkey, which is very straightforward with its upgrading options and has all the same capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are two different kinds of QR to generate, dynamic and static. Static is free, dynamic is not. It is not clear when you enter the website that if you create a dynamic QR code, you will lose access to this QR code unless you pay for a subscription. I received a notification about receiving a scan on my code and clicked the link to check out the website and came to find that my QR code will be expiring in 10 days.
I was confused as to how I had made this mistake and panicked because we had printed this QR code on signage, so I tried to create another one to see where I messed up.
When creating a QR code, you are taken to a landing page where you can select what you want the QR code for (website, social media, etc) UNDERNEATH this list, in faint, tiny writing, it says static codes and there is a little plus button you hit to bring up the dropdown menu for static QR codes. It is purposefully hidden this way so you will miss it and select a dynamic code instead. Nowhere on this page does it explain the difference between a dynamic and static code and that you will eventually have to pay for one over the other.
This website and process is incredibly unclear and misleading. There is nowhere on the website to even contact anybody with a complaint. This appears to be a legitimate business but feels incredibly scammy with the way they basically trap you into using the dynamic codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Great options for design and functionality is strong. Always seems to work property. Great tool overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The biggest issue is the that the subscription plans that are available are very limiting. It's hard to utilize this tool for the exact number of codes that you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It is easy to use and set up. You can also create dynamic QRs which can come in handy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
They basically set traps everywhere so you Upgrade
Oh, already have some QR codes? We made them Dynamic so you can only use them if you pay our Annual Plan.
Nothing worse than a SAAS that depends on tricking their users into paying.
And if you really need those QRs you can't even pay a monthly subscription. Nope, they only offer an annual Plan.
You'll end up printing your QR codes again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It was easy to get set up and use, and it worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
After receiving zero warning about an automatic renewal approaching (which they automatically enroll you in when you sign up), I asked politely for a refund and let their support know I would no longer be using the service and did not intend to renew for another year. Then I received a reply with zero understanding, zero empathy, and zero compassion. They stated they sent a reply 30 days prior which they absolutely did not. As many of the others in this forum have stated, they lie about sending a notification and just charge you. I cannot recommend highly enough that you go with a different QR code service. They should really be ashamed of themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
