QR TIGER alternative: what to watch out for when switching

Why people want to leave QR TIGER

Large quantities are here affordable — 200 codes for 16 dollars. The free tariff switches off after 500 scans per code, so right in the middle of a campaign. That's not a criticism — it's a pricing decision by the provider. Only it doesn't fit every use case, and that's exactly where projects fail when the codes are already printed.

Fairly speaking, it includes: the largest quotas at the lowest price, geofencing and own domain from premium. Those who need that find no substitute in a cheaper alternative, but a step back.

What an alternative has to deliver

  • Codes in total instead of monthly quota, so a campaign is not held back by the counter.
  • No scan limit, so success does not lead to a block.
  • Monthly cancellable at the advertised price, without a yearly contract as a condition.
  • No advertising between scan and destination.
  • Vector file for printing, without extra cost.

Scans are unlimited in all plans, yearly payment brings two months free. In the free plan, the target can be changed three times per code; after that, the code remains valid and scannable.

The switch itself

Technically, a switch means: creating new codes, taking over targets, and reprinting. The printed pattern contains the short address of the old provider and cannot be rewritten. Those with only a few codes in circulation can switch in the afternoon. For large print runs, the honest advice: first clarify your own domain, then print — then the next switch is free.

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

Do printed codes stay valid if I cancel?

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.

Are scans really unlimited?

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.

How often can I change the destination?

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.
