QRCTools and Uniqode, side by side

Uniqode makes editable codes, the kind whose link you can change after printing, only on a paid plan. After a 14-day trial its plans start at $9 a month, billed yearly, and its codes stop working when you cancel. Every QRCTools feature is on the free plan, and our codes don't expire.

What Uniqode has that we don't

  • It offers single sign-on on Business+, or as an add-on to Plus.
  • It has GPS tracking and integrations from Core.
  • It makes more than 15 kinds of code, and we make 9.
  • It adds AI insights to scan stats from Essential.
  • It offers retargeting, for showing ads to people who scanned, on Business+.
  • It sells digital business cards, with plans of their own.

Our limits

  • There's no paid plan to buy yet. A plan for larger teams is coming, and its prices will go on our pricing page first.
  • We connect each custom domain by hand for now, after you add the DNS record that proves you own it.
  • Your logo comes from a link to the image, because there's no upload yet.
  • We don't connect to Zapier, HubSpot or Google Analytics, and we can't send each scan to your own software as it happens.
  • We don't offer single sign-on, so everyone signs in with their own email address or Google account.
  • Scan stats show the country, but never the city or an exact location.
  • We don't host files, so a code can open a link, a landing page or a form, but not a PDF we keep for you.
  • We don't send invite emails yet, so you send each invite's sign-up link yourself.
