QRCodeChimp Pricing 2026: Plans, Limits, and What Happens When Downgrading
Plans at a glance
The QRCodeChimp prices are listed on the provider's pricing page. As of October 2026, there is a free plan and three paid plans:
| Plan | Monthly payment | Annual payment (per month) |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 $ (10 dynamic QR codes, 1,000 scans per month) | – |
| Starter | 9.99 $ | 6.99 $ |
| Marketing Pro | 19.99 $ | 500 |
| Ultima | $49.99 | $34.99 |
The pricing page lists specific features per plan: API in the paid plans, Excel download of statistics in the paid plans, custom domain in the paid plans.
Monthly or annually
With annual payment, each plan is cheaper according to the pricing page: Starter $6.99 instead of $9.99 per month, Pro $13.99 instead of $19.99, Ultima $34.99 instead of $49.99. Calculate whether you need the QR codes for the entire paid period.
The free plan and its limits
QRCodeChimp's free plan is generous: according to the pricing page, 10 dynamic QR codes and 1,000 scans per month. This is often sufficient for a club or a small project. For a QR code on a well-visited table, poster, or product, the scan limit may become tight.
What happens when downgrading
According to QRCodeChimp's pricing page (as of October 2026), when falling back to the free plan: All dynamic QR codes except the last 10 are paused. Paused means not deleted, but printed QR codes outside of these 10 will no longer reach their destination. Before downgrading, you should know which QR codes are printed and which remain active.
For comparison: Same-QR
Same-QR charges in euros, including VAT, and scales based on the number of QR codes. Paid monthly, each plan is cancellable monthly; paid annually, you pay ten monthly prices.
| Plan | Price | Dynamic QR codes | Scans |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | 0 € | 20 | 1,000 per month |
| Marketing Starter | €7.90 excl. VAT per month | 100 | unlimited |
| Marketing Pro | €19.90 excl. VAT per month | 500 | unlimited |
| Marketing Expert | €49.90 excl. VAT per month | 2,000 | unlimited |
| QRCodeChimp (according to pricing page) | Same-QR | |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 10 dynamic QR codes, 1,000 scans per month | 20 dynamic QR codes, 1,000 scans per month |
| Scans paid | check according to the provider's pricing page | unlimited |
| After downgrade | all except the last 10 paused | QR codes in the quota continue to run; beyond that, they are deactivated after 14 days and three warning emails |
| Custom domain | from Ultima | no |
| API | from Starter | in every plan, requests per hour vary by plan |
Where QRCodeChimp leads: more QR codes in the free plan and a custom domain from Ultima. Where Same-QR leads: more scans in the free plan, unlimited scans in every paid plan, and a grace period with prior warning before anything is deactivated.
The easiest way is the migration assistant under Dashboard → “QR codes” → “Move from another provider”: it reads your list as a CSV or Excel file, lets you assign the columns name, destination URL, old short link and labels, and creates the QR codes, as many as your plan allows. Afterwards you download a list “old short link → new Same-QR link”, which is exactly what you need for the bridge. An overview of switching is at sameqr.com/wechseln/en.
