EZQR vs QR Tiger: Full Comparison (Pricing, Features, Analytics)

TL;DR

QR Tiger is the better choice if you need enterprise approval workflows or a large template library. EZQR is cheaper at every tier: Pro ($10/mo, 100 dynamic codes) and Max ($20/mo, unlimited + API + teams) are both less than QR Tiger Premium ($37/mo annual). QR Tiger requires annual billing and its free codes expire.

Key Takeaways

  • QR Tiger Premium ($37/mo annual) vs EZQR Max ($20/mo monthly) for unlimited dynamic codes + API + teams
  • QR Tiger free codes expire after 12 months or 500 scans — EZQR free static codes never expire
  • QR Tiger requires annual billing on most plans. EZQR is month-to-month only.
  • EZQR has scannability checks (ISO/IEC 18004), password protection, and link scheduling — QR Tiger doesn't

Two Different Approaches

Disclosure: Published by EZQR.

QR Tiger is the market leader by search volume and review count. G2 rating: 4.7/5. They've been around longer, have more features, and serve enterprise customers.

EZQR is newer, simpler, and cheaper. EZQR has features QR Tiger doesn't: ISO/IEC 18004 scannability checks before every download, password-protected codes, link scheduling, and unique view tracking. QR Tiger has features EZQR is still building: deeper enterprise approval workflows for large logistics and e-commerce teams.

This isn't a hit piece. QR Tiger is a solid product. But for most businesses running marketing campaigns, managing locations, or printing materials, EZQR covers the full workflow at $5–20/mo with monthly billing. QR Tiger starts at $37/mo on annual contracts. Last verified: April 2026.

Key Differences

Free codes that actually last: EZQR's free static codes never expire and have no scan limits. QR Tiger's free codes die after 12 months or 500 scans. Print a QR Tiger free code on a business card and it becomes a dead link in a year.

Monthly billing, no lock-in: EZQR bills monthly and you can cancel anytime. QR Tiger requires annual commitments for all paid plans. That's roughly $325 in annual savings with EZQR for similar dynamic code capacity.

Scannability validation before download: EZQR validates every code against ISO/IEC 18004 before you download. If your logo is too big or contrast is too low, you get a warning. This prevents costly reprints. QR Tiger skips this step.

QR Tiger has deeper enterprise roots: QR Tiger has longer enterprise history with approval workflows built for large e-commerce and logistics operations. EZQR now offers bulk CSV generation and full team roles (Max plan), but QR Tiger's enterprise tooling is more mature.
