Why choose QRdx over MyQRCode?

The areas where QRdx is the stronger pick. The guide below also covers where MyQRCode is the better choice.

  • A free plan with dynamic codes

    MyQRCode's prices page lists two paid options and no free plan. QRdx Free has no time limit and includes 10 dynamic codes and 3 hosted pages, and static codes need no account at all.

  • Codes that keep scanning

    MyQRCode's terms (section 5(D), last updated March 2026, checked 10 November 2026) say that when the one-time Trial Plan expires without an upgrade, "Your dynamic QR codes will no longer be scannable." QRdx dynamic codes keep redirecting on every plan, including after a downgrade or a cancellation.

  • Monthly billing from $5

    MyQRCode renews at $49 every 4 weeks after the first 7 days, or costs $228 for a year paid upfront. QRdx Pro is $5/mo or $48/yr with unlimited dynamic codes and hosted pages.

  • Open source, with tools for developers

    The QRdx app is AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable. It has a REST API, an MCP server, and an MIT-licensed React library and CLI on npm. MyQRCode doesn't advertise an API.

QRdx or MyQRCode: which should you use?

MyQRCode and QRdx both make dynamic QR codes that you can edit after printing, with scan analytics. MyQRCode is run by Outsourcing International EOOD in Sofia, Bulgaria, and its prices page lists paid options only. QRdx is open source, and its static generator and Free plan cost nothing.

Who each tool is for

MyQRCode suits someone who wants everything unlimited on one plan and is happy to pay from the first day. Both of its options include unlimited QR codes, scans and downloads, analytics and every download format, across 12 code types such as PDF, menu, business page, video and Wi-Fi. You can pay $1.95 for 7 days of full access, which then renews at $49 every 4 weeks unless you cancel, or pay $228 for a year upfront.

QRdx suits people who want to start free and pay monthly, if at all. Static codes are free and need no account. The Free plan adds 10 dynamic codes and 3 hosted pages. Pro ($5/mo or $48/yr) makes both unlimited, and Business ($15/mo or $144/yr) adds unlimited team members and white-label pages. Developers can use the REST API, the MCP server or the npm library, and the whole app can be self-hosted.

Where MyQRCode is the better choice

  • You want the site in your own language. MyQRCode's pages come in 30 languages. QRdx is English only for now.
  • You want every feature on whichever option you pick. MyQRCode's two options list the same features and differ only in billing. On QRdx the Free plan has limits, and custom domains and white-label pages need Pro or Business.

Key differences

  • Free use. MyQRCode's prices page lists no free plan. QRdx static codes are free without an account, and the Free plan includes 10 dynamic codes.
  • When the trial ends. MyQRCode's terms (checked 10 November 2026) describe a one-time Trial Plan that "expires 7 days after you create your first QR code". After that, unless you upgrade, the terms say "Your dynamic QR codes will no longer be scannable" and you can no longer create, edit or download codes. QRdx has no trial, and its dynamic codes keep redirecting on every plan, including after a cancellation.
  • Billing. MyQRCode renews every 4 weeks or every year. QRdx bills monthly or yearly, and yearly works out cheaper.
  • Refunds. MyQRCode's terms say that when the agreement ends, users "will not receive a (partial) refund or reimbursement of any fees already paid for Subscription/s." QRdx looks at refund requests case by case.
  • Design. Both let you add a logo, colors and frames. MyQRCode's FAQ mentions six patterns plus corner squares and borders. QRdx has 23 body patterns, 17 eye shapes, 21 eye-dot shapes, gradients and 437 frames.
  • Openness. QRdx is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can check how scans are counted or run your own copy. MyQRCode doesn't advertise an API or its source code.

Switching from MyQRCode

  1. MyQRCode's dynamic codes redirect through its service, so printed codes depend on your MyQRCode account. Keep it active until the replacements are printed.
  2. List each code's name, QR link and destination in a spreadsheet, save it as CSV and import it from Dashboard → Codes → Import. Each row becomes a dynamic QRdx code.
  3. Rebuild PDF, menu and business pages as QRdx hosted pages, and test every code on a couple of phones before printing.

QRdx's Never-Hostage Guarantee explains what happens to your codes on every plan.

Printed codes

MyQRCode's dynamic codes redirect through MyQRCode, so QRdx can't change them. Its terms say that when the trial ends without an upgrade, dynamic codes "will no longer be scannable", so keep a paid MyQRCode plan until you reprint.
