Buying a QR code

Buy a QR code

Nobody actually sells the black-and-white pattern inside a QR code — that is free and unownable. What you buy is the service behind a dynamic code: the redirect that keeps it editable and the analytics that prove it works.

Create a QR code

The pattern is free

Any QR code you can generate is yours to print. You are paying for the redirect, not the image.

Flat, predictable price

A flat $4/month or $20/year — with no per-scan charges.

Know what you're buying

Check editing, scan limits, targeting and what happens to codes if you leave.

What you're really paying for

A dynamic QR code needs a service that stays online to resolve the redirect. Your money funds that uptime, the destination database, scan analytics and the promise that your printed code keeps working.

How to buy well

Judge a QR provider on the things that decide whether a printed code survives, not on the size of the feature list.

No per-scan fees and no per-code metering
Free editing of any destination, forever
A clear policy for what happens if you cancel
Codes you can point at your own short domain

What you should own

Whatever you pay for, keep control of two things: the destination you can host yourself, and the short link that resolves it. Own both and no provider can strand your printed codes.

A destination you control or can redirect
A short domain you can move between providers
An export of every code and its destination

Frequently asked questions

Can you buy a QR code outright?

You can buy the service behind a dynamic code, but the pattern itself is free — you can generate and print one without paying anyone.

Why do some QR codes cost money?

Because a dynamic code needs a running redirect service. That ongoing cost is what the subscription pays for.

What is a fair price for a QR code?

Free for up to 3 codes, then $4/month or $20/year. No scan caps, no per-scan fees.

Do I own the QR code I buy?

The printed pattern is yours. What you control is the short link and the destination it resolves to.

Is there a one-off purchase option?

The pattern is free, and the redirect is an ongoing service — so plans are subscriptions. Static codes need no purchase at all.

What happens if I stop paying?

It depends on the provider. Ours keeps codes resolving while your account is active; check any provider's terms before printing at scale.
