Seven free plans, by how many codes you get
Every service below says its free plan has unlimited scans. That leaves the number of dynamic codes as the limit you will actually hit, and it runs from 1 to unlimited.
| Service | Free dynamic codes | Scans | Account | Free analytics |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Toolember | 10,000 | Unlimited | Not required | Total, first and last scan, country and device |
| MetricQR | Unlimited | Unlimited | Optional to start, needed to save codes | "Full analytics", per their site |
| UQR | 5 | Unlimited | Sign-up link on the free button | Country, city and device |
| EasyQR | 3 | Unlimited | Required for dynamic codes | Basic |
| QRLynx | 3 | Unlimited | Required for dynamic codes | 3 months of history |
| QRThis | 1 | Unlimited | Not stated for dynamic codes | Total, daily and country |
| OpenQR | 1 | Unlimited | Sign-in page for dynamic codes | 7 days, by country |

How many codes is enough
One printed flyer needs one code. A restaurant with a code on each of twelve tables, or a shop with a code per product, needs a dozen or more. A plan with one code works for a single menu and runs out the day you add a second campaign, and the usual next step is a paid plan.
The caps of 1, 3 and 5 are fine for trying a service. They are tight for anything you will print more than once.
What happens when you outgrow the free plan
- OpenQR: editable codes pause and are never deleted, per its page.
- QRLynx: says static and dynamic codes have no automatic expiry. Expiry rules are a paid feature you switch on yourself.
- Toolember: codes keep redirecting if you never pay or cancel Pro, and a deleted code's short id is never handed to anyone else.
- The rest: the pages read do not say. Ask before printing a thousand of anything.
Where Toolember loses
- MetricQR lists unlimited free dynamic codes against the 10,000 here. That only matters if you print more than 10,000.
- UQR and OpenQR put a logo and custom colours on free codes. Here that is a Pro feature.
- Free here makes URL codes only. WiFi, vCard, email and SMS codes are Pro.
- Toolember has no API, team seats or custom domain on the short link.
