Which QR code provider suits freelancers?

Our answer: For freelancers, a QR code provider suits you best if it works well with few codes, comes with a simple profile page, and does not force you into an annual contract. At Same-QR, you start with a permanently free code. Almost every freelancer needs these three codes:

Code 1: Contact

On the business card, a code that saves your contact details to the mobile phone as a vCard. This saves the other party from typing it in. A catch: Whoever saves the vCard once keeps the old version if you change the number later.

Code 2: Profile

Therefore, for the business card, a code to a page with all links is often better: website, appointment booking, LinkedIn, portfolio, reviews. You update this page at any time, the code on a thousand cards remains valid.

Code 3: Proposal

On the proposal folder, flyer, or invoice, a code to the current price list or the latest project. If the offer changes, you only swap the destination.

Why dynamic matters for you

Your business cards lie in strangers' drawers for years. If you change your phone number, website, or booking service, a static code becomes outdated. A dynamic code always points to the current status, and you count how often your card is scanned along the way.

Tips for printing

  • at least 2 cm in size, dark on light, with a light border
  • a word next to it, such as "Save Contact" or "All Links"
  • test with two mobile phones before printing
  • on the back, so that the front remains free for name and logo

What you do not need

Team roles, client projects, mass import, interfaces. That is for agencies. Instead, make sure the smallest plan is cancellable monthly and has no scan limit that is reached at a trade show.

What Same-QR offers for this

  • vCards in a dedicated section, hosted page "All Links" without own website
  • one code and one page permanently free, Gastro Starter with 3 codes for €5.90, Marketing Starter with 50 codes and 10 pages for €7.90 per month excl. VAT
  • cancellable monthly, unlimited scans in paid plans

Conclusion

Freelancers need few, changeable codes for contact, profile, and offer, without contractual commitment. Start with the profile code, it brings the most.

At least 2 cm, with a light border.

One is permanently free with some providers, such as Same-QR. More codes cost a few euros per month.
