Which QR code provider is the easiest to use?

Our answer: The easiest QR code provider is the one where you have a print-ready code in just a few minutes without instructions and can change the destination later on your phone. Same-QR is built exactly for these two paths. You will only know if this applies to a provider by trying it out with these five tests.

Test 1: Steps to the first code

Count the steps from registration to the downloaded file. Good are: choose type, enter name and destination, create, download. If you are asked for a credit card, company size, or newsletter along the way, it is not easy.

Test 2: finding the destination again

Open the account after a week and try to change the destination of a code. Is the destination directly in the list, or do you have to click through three menus? In everyday life, this is the most common action.

Test 3: on the phone

Many changes happen on the go: daily special, vacation notice, sold-out product. Open the account on your phone and change a destination while standing. If you have to zoom, it is not made for everyday use.

Test 4: content without retyping

Do you have to type a menu or price list line by line, or can the service take it from a photo or PDF? With long lists, this is the difference between ten minutes and two hours.

Test 5: understandable messages

Intentionally enter something incorrect, such as an address without https. Does the service tell you what is wrong and what you can do? Or does it just say "Error"?

Most important for whom

• Gastronomy: changes in the middle of service, often on mobile
• small businesses without IT: set up once, change rarely
• clubs and municipalities: changing people maintain the codes

How Same-QR performs

• four steps to the code, the address in the code is already there before creating it
• change destination directly in the code list, rename with the pencil icon, on mobile with bottom bar
• read menu from photos or PDF, from Gastro Starter also change by voice
• limit: scheduling, projects and interfaces make the dashboard fuller than necessary for a single code

Conclusion

Simple is what you can do without instructions. Do the five tests with a free account before committing, preferably on mobile.
