Qex and QR Code Generator
QR Code Generator (qr-code-generator.com) is Bitly’s QR product, not the similarly named the-qrcode-generator.com. Starter, on their own comparison posts, is $9.99 a month billed annually for 2 dynamic codes and 10,000 scans.
Published figures
| Qex | QR Code Generator | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid plan | $4/month, or $36/year, plus VAT, for 1,000 active codes. | Their blog lists Starter at $9.99/month billed annually: 2 dynamic codes, 10,000 scans, 1 user. Advanced is $15.99 for 50 codes and unlimited scans. Professional is $46.99 for 250 codes. The public pricing page shows the same caps in euros, with the dollar amount filled in at checkout. |
| Free dynamic codes | 10 active after an email, 5 before. Unlimited scans. They do not expire. | Static codes are free. Dynamic codes start on a 14-day trial. Their support article does not list a permanent free dynamic allowance. |
| Scans | Unlimited on free and on Pro. | Starter gathers tracking data on 10,000 scans. Advanced and Professional say unlimited scans. |
| When the trial or plan ends | Codes that are already active keep redirecting. Creating more uses the free cap (10, or 5 before an email). Device and country rules stop, because those run only while the workspace is Pro. Analytics in the dashboard go back to 30 days; older scans stay stored. | Dynamic codes are a 14-day trial, then a paid plan. Their pricing page does not describe a permanent free dynamic code. A deactivated redirect stops opening the destination. |
| Analytics | 30 days on free, 5 years on Pro, CSV on Pro. | Scans, unique scans, time, city and country, device and operating system on paid plans. They describe retention as long-term; the pricing page does not publish a year count. |
| Printed size | A short link written in capitals, so the pattern is version 1: 21×21 modules. A logo in the centre steps up to 25×25. | Not published. A dynamic code has to hold their redirect address, so the module count follows the length of that address. |
What QR Code Generator’s page lists that Qex does not sell
EPS download, bulk CSV creation, folders, more than one user (from Advanced), and Bitly’s link platform behind it. Enterprise is custom, up to the 1,000-code range their comparison posts mention. Qex Pro already includes 1,000 active codes at the $4 price.
