Create a QR code, print it anywhere, and change where it points later — without reprinting. Full scan tracking and a real design customizer included. That's the entire feature set most QR tools lock behind a monthly subscription. QRfox starts free.
A dynamic QR layer is a URL shortener with a QR generator and a dashboard for editing/analytics bolted on. That's it. QRfox does exactly that, well.
Change the destination URL anytime — the code stays the same. Fix a typo, redirect a campaign, retire a link. No reprinting.
Dot styles, marker shapes, colors, your logo dropped in the center, a circular "SCAN ME" frame — not just a black-and-white square. Download as PNG or print-ready SVG.
Scans by day, peak hours, and a breakdown by device, OS, and browser — plus a CSV export. Know whether the code on your flyer is actually getting used, and by whom.
Downgrade or cancel whenever you want — your printed QR codes keep redirecting on the free tier. We're not holding a stack of flyers hostage over a subscription.
Send the same code to different destinations depending on who's scanning it — device, OS, country, day of week, or time of day. One printed code, multiple audiences.
Create, list, and manage codes programmatically on the Pro plan, and get a signed webhook fired on every scan — build your own integrations without waiting on us.
Plus everything else you'd expect:
The exact wizard you'll use in the dashboard — this isn't a simplified marketing version of it.
Website link, call, text, email, WhatsApp, vCard, PDF, link-in-bio page, and more — see how each one works.
Drop in the destination and an optional label so you can find it later. Takes under a minute.
Style it to match your brand, download the PNG, print it. Edit the destination or the design anytime after — same code, no reprint.
No credit card to sign up, no feature paywall — pause/schedule, smart routing, and analytics all work on the free tier too. Every code you've printed keeps working even if you downgrade or cancel.
QR.io charges $39.99/mo (or $350/yr) for dynamic codes and scan tracking. QRfox starts free and tops out under $17/mo — pick the plan that matches how many codes you're actually printing.
Every plan — including Free — gets pause/schedule/protect, smart routing, branded landing pages, real analytics, and tags. The difference between plans is volume, plus team seats and API access on Pro. Both paid plans can serve short links from your own domain. An AppSumo lifetime deal is also on the way.

This table is what's actually true today, both ways.
The things people actually want to know before signing up for a QR tool — answered straight.
Really free. 5 QR codes, 500 scans tracked a month, no credit card, no expiration date. It's not a 7-day trial that quietly locks your codes when the clock runs out — Free is a plan, not a countdown.
They keep working. Cancel or downgrade and your codes keep redirecting on the free tier. A stack of printed flyers isn't collateral we hold over a subscription.
Yes. QRfox is built by 465 Media, a New Hampshire company, and priced to be sustainable — the $9.99 and $16.99 plans cover what the service actually costs to run, instead of a free-everything model that vanishes when the funding does.
Yes — on paid plans your short links can live on a subdomain you own, like links.yourbrand.com, instead of qrfox.co.
