Qex and Scanova
Scanova publishes a full grid. The entry plan, Basic, is annual only: $5 a month, paid up front, for 3 dynamic codes and unlimited scans. The analytics on that plan are 30 days of totals.
Published figures
| Qex | Scanova | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry paid plan | $4/month, or $36/year, plus VAT. Monthly billing exists. 1,000 active codes. | Basic is $5 per month, billed annually, for 3 dynamic codes and unlimited scans. Lite is $9 per month, billed annually, for 10 codes. Higher rows on the page list 50 and 500 codes; those prices did not render as text, so they are not quoted here. |
| Free dynamic codes | 10 after an email, 5 before, unlimited scans, 30 days of country, city and device. | The pricing grid starts at Basic. Static generation is the unpaid option. There is no permanent free dynamic allowance on the pricing page. |
| Analytics on that entry plan | Pro includes 5 years, with location, device and CSV. Free, at $0, already includes 30 days of that breakdown. | Basic analytics are the total scans over the past 30 days. Lite lifts the time limit on those totals and adds conditional redirects (country, device, OS). The city, device and browser breakdown is on a higher plan than Lite. |
| What a scan opens | An instant 302, no ad, including on the free plan. | Basic is marked “No ads” on the QR image and on their landing pages. They note that some scanner apps insert their own ads, which Scanova does not control. |
| Billing | Month or year. Prices are USD and exclude VAT, added at checkout. | Basic is marked annual only. You pay the year up front to get the $5 figure. |
| 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 Scanova’s page lists that Qex does not sell
AI-generated code art, EPS and PostScript export, landing pages, lead capture, webhooks, Zapier, ad-platform pixels, bulk edits, folders, exact GPS (the scanner is prompted), and a custom domain on the upper tiers. Conditional redirects exist, on Lite rather than on the $5 plan. Qex’s device and country rules are on Pro.
