Same-QR offers two dynamic codes without expiration with 10,000 scans per month; beyond that, the codes continue to work, and visitors see a hint for 2 seconds before the destination. There is never any advertising on Same-QR. In the free plan, you can change the destination twice per code, and unlimited times in the first 30 days.

| Remaining codes | inactive, reactivatable | deactivated after a 14-day grace period, come back to life with a suitable plan |
| Warning | check according to the provider's pricing page | three emails, 7, 3 and 1 day in advance |
Both leave some codes active after cancellation and do not delete the rest. Many providers, on the other hand, deactivate all dynamic codes when the subscription ends.

Who what fits
- Hovercode fits if you want a custom domain or are fine with up to 3 codes permanently for free.
- Same-QR fits if you need many codes at a quantity-based price, with export and unlimited scans.
- Same-QR also fits for agencies: client projects and up to 50 connected websites in the Agentur plan.
A switch is easy because Hovercode forwards 3 codes after cancellation.
The easiest way is the migration assistant under Dashboard → “QR codes” → “Move from another provider”: it reads your list as a CSV or Excel file, lets you assign the columns name, destination URL, old short link and labels, and creates the codes, as many as your plan allows. Afterwards you download a list “old short link → new Same-QR link”, which is exactly what you need for the bridge. An overview of switching is at sameqr.com/wechseln/en.
