goQR.me vs OpenQR

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.

OpenQR is a web tool for making QR codes and Code 128, Code 39, UPC-A, and EAN-13 barcodes in a browser. Its QR codes can encode URLs, text, WiFi credentials, vCard contacts, SMS, email, location coordinates, and calendar invites. The free plan includes all eight QR types, 1D barcodes, unlimited generation, PNG and SVG exports, and scanning limited to 20 per day. Pro adds unlimited scanning, analytics, logo QR codes, templates, and dynamic QR codes whose destination can be changed after printing. Bulk creation accepts up to 50 URLs or text items and downloads them as a ZIP. Exports also include print-ready PDFs and QR codes with transparent backgrounds. During anonymous use, QR and barcode content is processed locally rather than sent to OpenQR. The optional Canva export sends a rendered QR image to OpenQR's backend for upload to Canva. Pro costs $0.59 per month with a five-day trial, or $5.99 per year; Lifetime costs $9.99 once.
