Best QR Code Generators in 2026

QR Code Generator PRO, published at qr-code-generator.com, is a subscription service for creating, editing and tracking dynamic QR codes. The site identifies Bitly Europe as the company behind the tool and brands the product as QR Code Generator by Bitly, which places it in the same group as the Bitly link-management platform.

The service is aimed at marketers and small businesses that print codes on packaging, menus, posters and business cards and need to change the destination after printing. Dynamic codes redirect through the vendor's server, which allows scan statistics and editing; static codes encode the destination directly. Three plans are offered: Starter with 2 dynamic codes and 10,000 scans, Advanced with 50 dynamic codes and unlimited scans, and Professional with 250 dynamic codes and unlimited scans; Advanced and Professional are billed annually only. A 14-day free trial needs no credit card. Prices were not rendered on the pricing page at the time of review and are therefore not quoted here. The main limitation is that dynamic codes depend on an active subscription, so codes printed during a trial or on a lapsed plan stop redirecting, a pattern common to every dynamic-code vendor in this list.

Uniqode is a QR code management and digital business card platform aimed at mid-sized and enterprise organisations. Its pricing page describes free static QR codes, premium QR plans from US$9 per month, and a Core plan at US$49 per month that it presents as the main business option. Uniqode sells only annual subscriptions, and scan limits on its plans reset annually rather than monthly.

The plan ladder runs through Starter, Lite and Pro, which are single-user, to Plus and Business+, which support multiple users; Business+ is the route to more custom domains, while a custom domain is available on Plus as an add-on priced at US$2,000 per domain per year. The company also sells digital business cards, free for one card and US$6 per user per month on the Team plan. Uniqode displays SOC 2 compliance and states that Uniqode Cards is SOC 2 Type 2 certified, which matters for organisations with vendor security reviews. A 14-day free trial is offered. The drawbacks are that monthly billing is not available, multi-user access requires the higher plans, and white-label domains are expensive below Business+.

QR TIGER is a QR code generator founded in 2018 by Benjamin Claeys; the company says its team works worldwide, with offices in the US, Europe, Singapore and South-East Asia. It sells a QR code generator, a bulk generator, an API, an MCP server for AI assistants, enterprise digital business cards and a restaurant ordering product called MENU TIGER.

The free plan offers unlimited static codes and three dynamic codes limited to 500 scans each, with basic analytics and a QR TIGER logo pop-up. Paid plans start with Regular at US$7 a month (12 dynamic codes, unlimited scans, advanced analytics, ad-free), followed by Advanced at US$16 a month (200 dynamic codes, bulk generation, integrations, geofencing and two users) and Premium at US$37 a month, which adds white-labelling and larger file uploads. Geofencing, which restricts the area in which a code can be scanned, and precise geolocation tracking are unusual at this price point. The site's prices were shown without a clear billing period on the captured page, so buyers should confirm whether the figures assume annual billing. Like other dynamic-code services, codes depend on the subscription remaining active.

Flowcode is a QR code and offline-to-online conversion platform operated by the dtx company, which trades as Flowcode and also owns the Flowpage landing-page product. The company states that it is used by over 75% of Fortune 500 companies and markets itself to retail, consumer goods, sports, media, travel and healthcare brands. It currently offers two products: Flowcode 2, described as an enterprise conversion platform, and Flowcode 1, the classic QR code manager.

The free plan allows up to two Flowcodes with analytics for up to 500 scans and no advertising. Pro Plus costs US$25 per month billed annually for up to 50 Flowcodes and landing pages, analytics for 6,000 scans and three collaboration seats, while Growth costs US$250 per month on annual billing only and starts at 150 Flowcodes with analytics for the first 10,000 scans, geolocation data and CRM integrations. Flowcode's emphasis is on capturing data, such as contact details and CRM leads, from scans rather than only redirecting them, which suits consumer brands running on-pack and event campaigns. The scan-based analytics caps and the jump from US$25 to US$250 make it costlier than utility generators for simple use.

Bitly is a link-management company that sells short links, QR codes, link-in-bio pages and analytics in a single subscription. Its QR codes are a companion to its links rather than a standalone product, which suits teams that already track campaigns through short links and want QR scans counted in the same dashboard.

The free plan includes two QR codes and five links per month, two landing pages and unlimited clicks and scans. Core costs US$10 per month on annual billing (US$120 a year) and adds five QR codes and 100 links per month with 30 days of click and scan data and a UTM builder; Growth costs US$29 per month (US$348 a year) with ten QR codes, 500 links and a complimentary custom domain; Premium costs US$199 per month (US$2,388 a year) with 200 QR codes, 3,000 links and a year of data. Bitly says annual plans save up to 34%. The monthly QR allowances are low compared with QR-specialist vendors, so heavy QR users will find more codes per dollar elsewhere; the advantage is a single analytics view across links and codes.

QRCodeChimp is a QR code generator that offers a permanent free plan and a long ladder of paid tiers priced in US dollars and Indian rupees. It covers static and dynamic codes, landing-page code types, digital business cards and analytics with UTM tracking, location tracking and Excel export on higher tiers.

The free plan includes 10 dynamic codes and 1,000 scans a month across all of them; once that limit is reached, scans pause until the next month. Starter costs US$9.99 per month or US$6.99 per month billed yearly for 50 dynamic codes and 10,000 scans; Pro costs US$19.99 or US$13.99 yearly for 300 codes and 150,000 scans with two users; Ultima costs US$49.99 or US$34.99 yearly for 900 codes with unlimited scans and four users. Multiples of Ultima run up to Ultima 5x at US$249.95 per month (US$174.95 yearly) for 4,500 dynamic codes and 16 users. Yearly billing saves 30%. The breadth of tiers makes it easy to buy exactly the capacity needed; the scan pause on the free plan means it is unsuitable for printed campaigns without upgrading.

Hovercode is a dynamic QR code and short-link service with a small set of transparent plans. Its free plan is not a time-limited trial and needs no credit card; it includes unlimited static codes and scans, three dynamic codes, three short links, one multi-link page and basic analytics with three months of history.

Pro costs US$12 per month or US$120 a year and includes 100 dynamic codes in total, advanced analytics with 12 months of history and one custom domain. Business costs US$39 per month or US$390 a year and allows 600 dynamic codes per month, unlimited analytics history, ten custom domains and team management with GPS tracking; Business Plus costs US$99 per month or US$990 a year with 2,000 dynamic codes per month and 50 custom domains. Yearly billing charges ten months for twelve. Prices exclude sales tax and VAT. Hovercode stands out for its clear limits and custom domains from the first paid plan, which lets codes redirect through a brand's own domain; it offers fewer landing-page templates and enterprise controls than Uniqode or Flowcode.

Scanova is a QR code generator and management platform that sells dynamic codes, custom-designed codes, AI-designed image codes, tracking and mobile landing pages, with solution pages for restaurants, consumer goods, real estate, retail and other sectors. Its pricing is structured around the number of codes or pages an account can create over its subscription.

The Basic plan, sold annually only, costs US$5 per month for up to three QR codes; Lite costs US$9 per month billed annually for ten codes or pages; and Standard costs US$35 per month billed annually for 50 codes or pages, adding features such as a custom dynamic URL hash in place of Scanova's default scnv.io short domain. Annual billing saves up to 40% against monthly billing, and a free trial is offered without a credit card. Scanova notes that some third-party scanning apps show their own promotional ads, which it cannot control. Higher tiers and enterprise plans add security options such as one-time-password login. The per-code limits are tight at the low end, so Scanova suits businesses with a small number of long-lived codes rather than high-volume campaigns.

Supercode is a QR code generator with an unusual pricing basis: rather than limiting the number of dynamic codes, it allows unlimited dynamic codes and unlimited users on every plan and meters usage through monthly scan credits. Its site offers code types for URLs, WhatsApp, images and PDFs among others.

The free plan includes 30 scan credits a month. Professional is listed at US$720 a year when billed annually, shown as US$60 a month, with 1,000 scan credits a month; Enterprise is listed at US$1,800 a year (US$150 a month) with 5,000 credits. The page displayed both previous and discounted prices at the time of review, so the advertised rates may be promotional. The scan-credit model is economical for organisations that need many codes with modest traffic each, such as per-product or per-location codes, and expensive for a single high-traffic code on a mass-printed item. Buyers should estimate total monthly scans before choosing, since the free allowance is small enough to be exhausted by a single event poster.

QR.io sells one plan rather than a ladder: unlimited dynamic and static QR codes with unlimited scans, PNG and SVG downloads, scan statistics showing how many, when and where, API access, bulk creation and five team members.

Monthly billing costs US$39.99 per month, and the yearly plan was shown at US$350 for 12 months, which the company presents as a 27% saving; a 7-day money-back guarantee applies. New users can start a 7-day free trial that unlocks the premium features; static codes created during the trial keep working after it ends, while dynamic codes require a paid plan. The simple structure removes the need to forecast code counts, and API and bulk creation are included rather than reserved for enterprise tiers. The trade-offs are a relatively high monthly price for occasional users, no permanent free plan for dynamic codes and a five-member cap on the team. Few public details about the operating company were found on the pricing page.

ME-QR is a QR code generator whose free plan is notably large but ad-supported. The free plan allows up to 10,000 created codes, unlimited scans, unlimited lifetime, trackable codes, multi-user access, folders, one year of analytics history and 100 MB of file storage, but every code on the free plan displays advertising to the person scanning it.

Two paid plans, Lite and Premium, are billed monthly or yearly. Lite raises the limit to 100,000 codes with three years of analytics history but includes only one ad-free code; Premium allows 1,000,000 codes, makes all codes ad-free and adds 500 MB of storage. The pricing page states that annual Premium saves US$51 compared with monthly billing and that extra storage costs US$0.99 per 100 MB, but the Lite and Premium base prices were not rendered on the captured page. The ad-supported model is the main consideration: interstitial adverts between a scan and the destination can harm brand perception and conversion on printed material, so the free plan is better suited to personal use than to business campaigns.

QRCode Monkey is a free web tool for generating static QR codes with custom colours, gradients, logos and design templates, available in several languages and as a Chrome app. The site states that the static codes it creates are completely free; for scan statistics, editable destinations and other dynamic features it directs users to a professional QR code generator and advertises Bitly's paid platform.

Because the codes are static, the destination URL or text is encoded directly into the pattern and the code keeps working indefinitely without any account or subscription, which avoids the lock-in that applies to every dynamic-code service in this list. The flip side is that a static code cannot be edited after printing and does not record scans unless the destination itself is tagged with campaign parameters. QRCode Monkey also offers a QR code API. DENSO WAVE, which created the QR code, states that the code pattern itself can be used freely; its registered trademark covers only the words "QR Code". For one-off codes on business cards, Wi-Fi details or documents, a free static generator is sufficient.
