Same-QR and qr1.at comparison: prices, limits and conditions
The difference in one sentence
The only provider in the comparison that guarantees QR codes remain after cancellation — provided at least one year was paid. Monthly payments are not available for this. At Same-QR, scans are unlimited on every paid plan (1,000 a month free), the monthly price applies without a yearly contract, and no advertising appears during a scan.
Prices side by side
| Provider | Free tier | Paid entry plan | Commitment |

| qr1.at | 15-day trial | €5 / month (Starter) for 5 QR codes | no monthly payment, minimum term of three months, 20 percent cheaper annually |

What qr1.at can do better
White-Label platform, landing pages, team rights, and a promise for the time after cancellation — this is not a side note, but the reason why qr1.at is the right choice for many. Those who exactly need this should stay there.
For a fair comparison, the other side must also be considered: Same-QR does not offer team rights for multiple users. Those who need them are better served by larger providers, while those who need their own QR code reliably and without limits are better served by us.
What to check before you decide
- Counting method: QR codes in total or new QR codes per month? For campaigns with many placements, this decides the plan.
- Scan limit: neither provider specifies one — nevertheless, check the tariff details before signing up, as it is rarely listed on the price page.
- Binding: no monthly payment, minimum contract period of three months, 20 percent cheaper annually. With Same-QR, the monthly price applies without a contract period.
- Advertising on scan: no for both providers — unlike some ad-funded free offerings in the market.
Frequently asked questions
At the start, yes: 7.90 EUR/month excl. VAT for 50 QR codes, compared to 5 € / month (Starter) for 5 QR codes. For very large quantities, the situation can change — the tables above show the pricing tiers of both providers, calculated for your quantity.
Yes, using the bridge method: As long as your old subscription is active, you set the target of each QR code to a new Same-QR code, and the printed QR codes are redirected via Same-QR. If you had your own domain with the old provider, you connect it directly to Same-QR from Gastro Pro and Marketing Starter. The moving assistant in the dashboard guides you through both.
On every paid plan, yes. The free plan includes 1,000 scans a month; beyond that the QR codes keep working, with a short notice before the destination, but after 7 days above the limit they show only a notice until the end of the month. 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 twice per QR code. The number of QR codes and all other features follow the plan you booked, during the trial as well.
