Why choose QRdx over QR Code Creator?
The areas where QRdx is the stronger pick. The guide below also covers where QR Code Creator is the better choice.
Pay monthly, from $5
QR Code Creator bills all three plans yearly: Basic is $11.10 a month for 3 dynamic codes, Advanced $15.58 for 50 and Professional $46 for 250. QRdx Pro is $5 a month or $48 a year for unlimited dynamic codes, and you can cancel at any time.
A free plan with no time limit
QR Code Creator starts with a 7-day trial. Its homepage says that when the trial ends, "Dynamic QR codes generated during the trial will be temporarily deactivated" (checked 10 November 2026). QRdx Free has no time limit and includes 10 dynamic codes and 3 hosted pages.
Codes keep working after you cancel
For paid plans, QR Code Creator's help center says "Once your plan expires, all created dynamic QR codes will be invalid" (checked 10 November 2026). Under the QRdx Never-Hostage Guarantee, dynamic codes keep redirecting after a downgrade, a failed payment or a cancellation.
Open source, with an API on every plan
QR Code Creator's API makes static codes and needs the Professional plan. The QRdx REST API works on the Free plan too, alongside an MCP server and an MIT-licensed React library and CLI, and the app is AGPL-3.0 and self-hostable.
QRdx or QR Code Creator: which should you use?
QR Code Creator and QRdx both make dynamic QR codes you can edit after printing, with scan statistics and hosted mobile pages. QR Code Creator, run by Convertizing LTD in Dublin, has three paid plans billed yearly after a 7-day trial. QRdx has a free plan and monthly billing, and its dynamic codes keep redirecting whatever plan you're on.
Who each tool is for
QR Code Creator suits a business that knows roughly how many dynamic codes it needs and is happy to pay for a year at a time. Basic is $11.10 a month for 3 dynamic codes and 20,000 scans. Advanced is $15.58 a month for 50 codes, unlimited scans and 3 users, and Professional is $46 a month for 250 codes, 6 users and API access. Prices are shown in US dollars, or in euros in some regions, and tax is extra. It lists 23 QR types, from Wi-Fi and vCards to menus, coupons and ratings, and you can download each code's scan report as CSV.
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 get the REST API on every plan, and the whole app can be self-hosted.
Where QR Code Creator is the better choice
- You want to pay in euros. QR Code Creator's terms say prices are in US dollars or euros, depending on your country or billing region. QRdx charges in US dollars, or in rupees in India.
- You want to try a lot of dynamic codes before paying. Its 7-day trial allows up to 250 dynamic codes. QRdx Free has 10, although they don't expire.
Key differences
- What happens when you stop paying. QR Code Creator's homepage says that after the 7-day trial, "Dynamic QR codes generated during the trial will be temporarily deactivated," while static codes "will continue to function." For paid plans, its help center says: "Once your plan expires, all created dynamic QR codes will be invalid." We checked both pages on 10 November 2026. On QRdx, dynamic codes keep redirecting on every plan, including after a cancellation.
- Billing. QR Code Creator bills every plan yearly. QRdx bills monthly or yearly, and one person with a few codes pays nothing.
- Code and scan limits. QR Code Creator allows 3, 50 or 250 dynamic codes depending on the plan, and Basic includes 20,000 scans. Its help center says that past that limit, people who scan "will receive a notification that the limit has been reached" until the next subscription cycle. QRdx Pro has unlimited dynamic codes, and no QRdx plan caps scans.
- Developer access. QR Code Creator's API makes static codes and needs the Professional plan. The QRdx REST API allows 1,000 requests a day on Free and 10,000 on Pro, and QRdx also has an MCP server, a React library on npm and a CLI.
- Openness. QRdx is open source under AGPL-3.0, so you can check how scans are counted or run your own copy. QR Code Creator doesn't advertise its source code.
Switching from QR Code Creator
- Keep your QR Code Creator plan active until the codes you've printed are replaced. Its dynamic codes redirect through QR Code Creator, and its help center says they become invalid once the plan expires. Static codes keep working without it.
- Write each code's name and destination in a spreadsheet, then import it into QRdx to make them dynamic QRdx codes.
- Rebuild hosted pages in the QRdx page editor, and test each new code on a couple of phones before printing.
QRdx's Never-Hostage Guarantee explains what happens to your codes on every plan.

Printed codes
