QR code generator without scan limit: which providers really don't cap
What this is about
A scan is a redirect: a database query, a counter, a response of half a kilobyte. This costs fractions of a cent. If a provider still disables it at 500 scans, it's not a technical limit, but a sales cap — and it hits exactly when a poster works.

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.

At Same-QR, scans are unlimited in every tariff, even the free one. Limited is something else with us: the number of codes and in the free tariff the number of target changes.
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.
