Which QR code provider is the best for small businesses?

The short answer: For a small business, the best QR code provider is one with which you are finished in ten minutes and which costs little for a few codes. You do not need a campaign platform. You need a code that leads to your price list, your opening hours, or your website, and which you can change yourself.

What a small business really needs

• a few codes that can be changed permanently
• a destination page, even without your own website
• print files that the printer accepts
• a price that fits a small budget
• no contractual commitment

What you can save on

Detailed scan analytics by device and time, team roles, customer projects, interfaces. This is intended for agencies. A café, a hairdresser, a craftsman rarely needs it.

How Same-QR covers this

**No website needed.** Hosted pages such as price lists, opening hours & directions, all links, or menus. You fill out a template, and the code displays it.

**Few codes, low price.** One code is free forever. Gastro Starter costs €5.90 per month excl. VAT, with 3 codes, unlimited scans, and all designs. Marketing Starter costs €7.90 with 50 codes and 10 pages.

**No commitment.** Cancel monthly, even without logging in.

**Print-ready.** PNG, SVG, and PDF; the PDF is also available in CMYK.

Typical codes for a small business

• at the entrance door: opening hours & directions
• on the business card: contact as vCard
• at the checkout: leave a review or Instagram
• in the shop window: the current offer, which you swap every week
• on the invoice: all links to the shop, appointment booking, and contact

The most common mistake

Many small businesses print a free static code that links directly to a subpage of their website. With the next website redesign, the subpage is gone and the code is dead. A dynamic code costs little and saves you from reprinting.

Conclusion

Small businesses need simple, changeable codes with a target page and no contract. With Same-QR you start for free and only pay when you need more than one code.
