QR code with own domain: which providers allow this and what it costs
What this is about
A dynamic QR code contains a short address that is located at the provider. If you switch providers, the printed pattern becomes worthless — unless the address belongs to you. Therefore, having your own domain for large print runs is not just cosmetics, but insurance against re-printing.

What the table does not show
The codes themselves are technically equal everywhere — a QR code from provider A does not scan better than one from provider B. Differences arise from the conditions, and these are rarely on the price page, but in the fine print: cancellation terms, scan limits, and what happens to existing codes after the end.
Our plans

At QR TIGER, your own domain is included from 37 Dollar per month, at qr1.at from 35 Euro, at QRFY in every tariff. At Same-QR, it is planned for the Business tariff and is not yet available today — this should be stated before anyone plans on it.
For the comparison to be meaningful, the other side must be included: A building block for target pages, forms for lead capture, digital business cards as a separate product, team rights and an API access does not offer Same-QR. Those who need that are better served by the larger providers — those who need the code itself, reliable and without limits, are with us.
Frequently asked questions
The 2 codes of the free plan remain and are scannable. In addition, with every provider of dynamic codes: the redirection runs at the provider's end, without access, the code leads to nothing. For signs that hang for decades, a static code is the safer choice.
Yes, in every plan including the free one. A scan is a redirect and costs fractions of a cent — a cap would be a sales barrier, not a technical requirement. Automated bulk retrieval is excluded, which does not generate real scans.
In the paid plans unlimited. In the free plan 3 times per code; additionally, destination changes are unlimited during the first 30 days after registration. The number of codes and all other features follow the plan you booked, during the trial as well.
