In their own words
OpenQR
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.
QRStuff
QRStuff makes QR codes for URLs, WiFi, contact information, payments, documents and other content. It offers static codes with fixed data and dynamic codes whose destination or content can be changed; dynamic codes also support scan monitoring. Users can customize codes with colors, logos and shapes, then download them as PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF. Analytics include scan counts, locations, devices, referrers and campaign performance. Listed integrations include Slack, monday.com, Shopify, Google Sheets, Gmail and Microsoft 365. A REST API covers code generation, management, analytics and batch processing, but API access is limited to Enterprise. The Free Suite includes 10 dynamic codes expiring after 30 days, 5 static codes and 50 scans per month. Static codes remain permanent, while dynamic codes need an active subscription to keep working. QRStuff lists web and API platforms and offers a free plan; its FAQ says paid subscriptions have no free trial. Paid plans are listed from $10/mo.
