Hovercode

Hovercode creates and manages trackable QR codes, landing pages, and short links on the web, through an API, and as an extension. Dynamic QR codes let users change where a printed code sends people after it has been created. Codes can be customized with logos, colors, patterns, eye styles, frames, borders, and text. The product also includes PDF QR codes, forms, multi-link pages, and GS1 Digital Link QR codes. Free-plan analytics show total and unique scans; paid plans add scan time, device, browser, and estimated city and country. The free plan includes 3 dynamic QR codes, 3 short links, and 1 multi-link page, with unlimited scans. Pro costs $12 a month, billed monthly, and includes 100 dynamic QR codes, 100 short links, 5 multi-link pages, and 1 custom domain. Business plans list higher limits and API access. Integrations include Canva, Figma, Chrome, Airtable, and MCP access for Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any MCP client. Hovercode says it hosts its service in Germany and stores minimal scan or click data by default without personally identifiable data. Static QR codes are outside the listed dynamic-code limits.
