A QR code with no subscription
Most generators sell the editable (“dynamic”) QR code as a monthly or yearly subscription: the code works as long as you pay. At QR Durable there is no subscription: €2.99 once per code, or free if the content never needs to change.
Your code stopped working? Check where it leads, then replace it with a code that depends on no subscription.
The comparison
| Subscription generator | QR Durable | |
|---|---|---|
| Static code | Often free | Free, no account |
| Editable code | Monthly or yearly payment | €2.99 once |
| If you stop paying | The code may be cut off | Nothing to stop: the code stays live |
| Duration | While the subscription runs | At least 10 years |
| Statistics | Depends on the plan | Scans per day and per device |
| Refund | Depends on the terms | On a simple email, 14 days |
Why it is possible
Running a redirect costs almost nothing. We do not need a subscription to cover our costs: a single payment is enough.
Which code should you choose?
- The content will never change (Wi-Fi, text, final link): free static code.
- You want to change the link later, see scans, or use a hosted page (PDF, business card, menu…): editable code at €2.99.
- Several materials: 5-code pack at €9.90.
Questions
Are there hidden fees?
No. The only paid options are design choices at €1 per code (heart, round, frame…), shown before payment. Colours and logo are included.
What happens after 10 years?
The code stays live as long as QR Durable exists. If the service ever had to stop, you would be told at least 12 months ahead.
