Which QR code provider is cheap and still good?

Our answer: A QR code provider is cheap and good if you pay no more over two years than the price on the website. Therefore, calculate the total costs: plan, additional packages, commitment, and the risk of a reprint. Same-QR starts at €0, paid plans from €5.90 per month excl. VAT.

The hidden items

**Reprint.** If a code is deactivated after a trial or cancellation, you reprint. A run of flyers or standees can quickly cost more than a year's plan.

**Scan packages.** Some plans include only a specific number of scans; beyond that, it becomes expensive or the code stops.

**Annual commitment.** A low monthly price that only applies with twelve months' advance payment is an annual price.

**Price increases.** If a price increase also applies to ongoing contracts, today's price is only a snapshot.

How you calculate correctly

Take the number of codes you need in two years and calculate: monthly price times 24, plus expected additional packages, plus the risk of a reprint. Then compare the price per code and year. A plan with many codes can be cheaper than one with few, if you actually use the codes.

Calculation example

You need 30 codes for labels and flyers. A plan with 50 codes for €79 per year plus VAT costs about €2.60 per code and year. A plan with 10 codes for €5 per month is not enough, and three times that costs €180 per year.

Where cheap is not enough

The cheapest plan is not always the right one. If you need scheduling or a hosted page, the cheapest plan without these features will not help you. Compare based on what you actually use, not on the lowest price.

The plans of Same-QR

Prices for businesses excl. VAT, paid plans with unlimited scans and destination changes, monthly cancellable, annual payment at ten monthly prices, price changes only for new bookings.

Conclusion

Cheap is what works without reprinting, scan packages and lock-in. Calculate over two years and per code, not by the smallest monthly price.
