ArborQR vs goQR.me

ArborQR is a web-based platform for creating dynamic QR codes, customizing their appearance, and reviewing scan analytics. A dynamic code can point to a different destination after printing, so changing a destination does not require printing a new code. Customization includes colors and logo overlays. Analytics report device, browser, country, and time information and are described as updating in real time. The free plan costs nothing and includes five static QR codes, PNG download, and basic colors. Pro costs $19 a month and includes unlimited QR codes, dynamic codes, custom branding, scan analytics, and SVG download. Business costs $49 a month and adds bulk generation, CSV import, priority support, and team access. The bulk tool makes dynamic codes with unique short links from CSV files. The maker describes restaurants, product packaging, and real estate as use cases. ArborQR is operated by Aurelian Syndicate L.L.C., which says it is based in Raleigh, North Carolina, and was founded in 2025. The maker says it hashes IP addresses rather than storing them raw and uses no cookies or tracking pixels on redirect pages.

goQR.me is an online QR code generator for text, URLs, SMS, and vCard contact information. Its free generator offers EPS and SVG vector downloads, as well as PNG, GIF, and JPEG images; the site says the graphics may be used commercially and in print. Users can make colored codes, request a custom logo QR code, and obtain code to embed QR graphics on a website. The API supports generating and reading QR graphics over the internet. The maker says QR contents are not stored or logged, generated images are cached for about 30 seconds, and data submitted to the API is encrypted with SSL/TLS. Static codes contain entered data directly, so the maker says its servers are not involved when those codes are scanned. QR-Server provides dynamic codes whose destination URL can be changed after printing, along with scan statistics. Its plans cost €5 a month for Starter, €17.50 a month for Professional, and €49 a month for Agency, each billed annually and net. A custom logo QR code service is listed at $80, paid once, excluding VAT for US customers; it is offer-based.
