Frequently Asked Questions

Never. Some platforms (ME-QR, for example) delay ad injection for 1-2 weeks so you don't notice during testing. After that, every scan shows an ad before reaching your destination. EZQR never shows ads on any tier.

Small team, low overhead. No VC funding to pay back, no sales team, no office. Uniqode charges $49/mo, Flowcode charges $250/mo for unlimited codes. EZQR Pro is $10/mo for unlimited dynamic codes. We'd rather have more users at a fair price.

Note the destination URLs your current codes point to. Create new codes in EZQR with the same destinations and your branding. Replace the old codes on your materials. If you're on Flowcode, move fast: they delete codes when you cancel with no grace period.

Not if you used a dynamic QR code. Change the destination from your dashboard. The printed code stays the same. 3 dynamic codes included free, Lite ($5/mo) gives you 25.

Yes. EZQR validates every code against ISO/IEC 18004 before download. If your logo is too large or contrast is too low, you see a warning. Most logos work at 20-25% of the code area with error correction level Q or H.

Dynamic QR codes on your table tents. When the menu changes, update the destination in your dashboard. The printed code stays the same. Lite plan: 25 dynamic codes for $5/month.

Use a separate dynamic code for each placement. The analytics dashboard shows unique visitors, their city, device type, and time of day per code. Export as CSV for client reports. This is print campaign attribution that most tools don't offer.

Print QR codes directly on materials instead of using stickers. Use static codes for permanent donation links since they don't depend on a third-party server. Check codes monthly by scanning them yourself. If you find tampering, replace the signage immediately.

No. Monthly billing only. Uniqode, QR Code Chimp, and Flowcode all require annual commitments. EZQR is month-to-month, cancel anytime. Same price month 1 and month 12.

Static codes keep working forever. Dynamic codes stay scannable for 30 days so you can migrate. No retention team, no phone call required. One click.

No. The static tier includes unlimited QR codes, 3 dynamic codes, full customization with your logo, and PNG export. No credit card, no time limit, no watermarks.

Free ($0): unlimited static codes, 3 dynamic, PNG export. Lite ($5/mo): 25 dynamic codes, 30-day analytics, SVG/PDF export. Pro ($10/mo): 100 dynamic, A/B testing, geo-targeting, full analytics. Max ($20/mo): unlimited dynamic, API access, custom domain, team access, white-label.

QRCode Monkey is free but static-only. No dynamic codes, no analytics, no account system, no way to change a link after printing. EZQR offers both static (free forever) and dynamic codes with a full analytics dashboard.

Static codes encode data directly into the QR pattern per ISO/IEC 18004. They work forever with no server dependency. Dynamic codes redirect through a short URL you can change anytime, with scan tracking built in. Static = permanent. Dynamic = flexible.

2 cm x 2 cm (0.8 in) for close-range scanning like business cards and menus. For signage, the code width should be about 1/10th of the expected scan distance. A poster scanned from 2 meters needs a code at least 20 cm wide.

The three most common causes: not enough contrast between foreground and background, code printed too small, or logo covering more than 25% of the code area. EZQR's scannability check catches all three before you download.

URL, email, phone, SMS, text, Wi-Fi, vCard, PDF, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, WhatsApp, location, App Store, Google Form, Spotify, Google Review, LinkedIn, Pinterest, payment links, and business cards. 50+ types total.

PNG on the static tier. Paid plans add SVG (vector, scales to any size without pixelation) and PDF (print-ready). No watermarks on any tier, including free.
