No-Code, API, or AI assistant: Which path suits your business?
The dashboard: for one-off cases
For No-Code, meaning without programming, the dashboard is the starting point. Here you create codes, design pages, choose designs, view statistics, and upload print files. For a business with a handful of codes, this is often all that is needed.
The assistant: for people without technical skills
ChatGPT or Claude with Same-QR as a connector turn tasks into sentences: "Daily special today: Goulash." "How many times was the flyer code scanned?" Setup takes a few minutes, and login runs via OAuth. Ideal for anyone who wants to make changes on the go without logging in.
The command line: for recurring tasks
The CLI sameqr from npm is for anyone who wants to repeat processes: many codes from a list, reading menus for multiple customers, monthly backups of scan numbers. With --json, it becomes a building block for scripts and coding agents.
The API: for your own systems
The REST API at /api/v1 is for software that needs codes itself: a shop that creates a code for each product, a POS system that updates the menu, a reporting tool that fetches scans. Access via keys with "read only" or "read + write" permissions.
Decision support
- Few codes, rare changes: Dashboard.
- Frequent small changes, no technical skills in the team: Assistant.
- Many similar tasks, someone on the team knows the terminal: command line.
- Codes are generated in different software: API.
- An agency with developers: Coding agent with MCP server, plus CLI for fixed workflows.
The paths do not exclude each other. Everyone works in the same account, with the same tariff limits and checks. What a script creates, you see in the dashboard; what you change in the dashboard, the assistant sees.
Conclusion: why Same-QR
With Same-QR, you don't have to choose: Dashboard, assistant, command line, and API are included in every tariff, even the free one with two permanently free dynamic codes. You start where it is easiest for you, and switch when your tasks grow.
Try it yourself: sign up for free at sameqr.com. Two dynamic QR codes are free forever, no credit card needed, the paid plans can be cancelled monthly, and your guests never see ads when they scan.
Frequently asked questions
No. API, CLI, and MCP server are included in every tariff. The tariff determines the number of codes and enquiries per hour.
Yes. Everyone works in the same account and sees the same codes and pages.
All of them, if the permissions match. For evaluations, a "read only" key is sufficient; assistants log in via OAuth.
