Plans & Pricing

1. Flowcode has the best free plan. QR Code Generator doesn’t even offer one.

In addition to having a better free plan, we should note that, technically, QR Code Generator doesn’t even offer a free plan. They’ll give you a trial, let you explore for 14 days, and then make you pay. To make matters more complicated for you, QR Code Generator will only let you use static QR codes on your trial. These are codes that cannot be edited once they’re made. With Flowcode, all of our codes are dynamic. This means you can edit the backend of the code and update the destination for scanners at any time. 

Additionally, with Flowcode, users can create up to two dynamic QR codes for free, without the time strain of two weeks providing ample opportunity to explore and utilize the full potential of each code. So say goodbye to the limitations of QR Code Generator’s trial period and static codes. With Flowcode’s free plan, you can enjoy the full potential of this powerful marketing tool and unlock a world of opportunity without the pressure of time constraints and limitations.

2. Flowcode’s paid plans deliver exceptional value. QR Code Generator is costly and comes with limitations.

If you’re thinking about accessing more features, Flowcode’s paid plans are built for wherever you are, and where you want to go. With unlimited scans, powerful analytics, CRM collection, our plans offer even more than QR Code Generator’s so-called “Advanced plan”. At nearly double the cost of Flowcode’s basic plan (and with fewer features), we wouldn’t recommend trying them out.

Okay, for the sake of discussion, let's assume you sign up for QR Code Generator’s “Starter” plan (we’re holding back tears). With it, you’ll only get access to 2 dynamic codes and a 10,000 scan limit to your codes. This can be detrimental to any campaigns you’re running with QR codes. Imagine just inserted a QR code on a billboard to collect CRM from scanners interested in the ad campaign. Once you hit 10,000 scans, you can no longer collect information — far from ideal, right?

When you upgrade to Flowcode Pro, you unlock a suite of tools to fuel your business growth and connect with your audience. With Flowcode Pro, for only $9 a month, you can create and manage up to 10 Flowcodes, providing seamless engagement with your customers. In contrast to QR Code Generator, Flowcode has no limitations or restrictions on the number of scans your QR codes can receive. This means you can drive unlimited traffic and engagement to your business without barriers, which is paramount in increasing the customer base and maximizing reach.  

Enjoy advanced customization options, including adding text around the rim, uploading logos, and exploring a broader color palette to align your codes with your brand identity.

Product Features

Now that we’ve covered pricing, let’s get into the features that were meaningful to other partners who decided to partner with Flowcode:

1. Enhanced QR Code Customization: Flowcode has in-house designers. QR Code Generator does not.

Did you know that designed QR codes get 18% more engagement than boring square ones (...looking at you, QR Code Generator). With Flowcode, you get access to QR codes that POP. We have an entire team dedicated to designing custom codes for you, building out beautiful templates, and ensuring the codes you create meet your brand standards.

All users, regardless of their plan, can customize their code with logos, colors, shapes, and textures. That’s not something QR Code Generator offers. QR Code Generator falls short when it comes to code customization, lacking flexibility ‍to tailor codes to your brand’s unique identity. Flowcode enables brands to maintain consistency across all touchpoints, reinforcing their visual identity and strengthening brand recognition. 

They say don’t judge a book by its cover, but when it comes to QR codes, aesthetics matter.  It is the visual appeal of a QR code that holds the key to capturing attention and driving engagement. If your QR code doesn’t visually align with your brand, they can fail to create a cohesive brand experience. Flowcode understands the importance of design in conveying your brand’s essence, and that’s why we provide extensive customization features. 

Don’t settle for generic and uninspiring QR codes. Choose Flowcode to unleash your brand’s full potential, as we offer unparalleled customization options that transform QR codes into powerful brand assets.

2. Powerful Analytics: Flowcode offers data that is advanced and secure. QR Code Generator does not.

Flowcode provides real-time data on all of your QR code engagement. This means the moment someone scans your code, you’ll get insight into the device type of the scanner, the campaign the code was being used for, and where the scan occurred. With Flowcode’s real-time data, you gaina deeper understanding of your consumer-base and their behavior, allowing you access to essential information such as the device type of the scanner and even geographic location of the scan. 

Unlike QR Code Generator, Flowcode also empowers your team with analytics. With downloadable reports and filtering tools for teams and organizations, Flowcode’s analytics give you actionable insight into your data.

But that’s not all. API analytics mean that data from your scans can be pumped into data visualization tools like Looker or Tableau. By integrating your Flowcode data with these visualization platforms, you can unlock even deeper insights, create stunning visual reports, and share meaningful visualizations with your team or stakeholders. It’s like having a data scientist at your fingertips, transforming raw data into actionable intelligence. Say goodbye to the days of guess work and hello to data-driven decision-making.

3. Beyond QR Codes: Flowcode has a suite of products for every use case and enables rapid  CRM collection. QR Code Generator misses the mark.
