Shortlink and QR Code Services at QR-Man.com

Pricing

Static QR Codes are free. Static QR Codes are free and completely stand-alone, without any reference or dependency on our Service. That’ s because they encode any content directly, just like regular printed text. So technically they are completely independent from us, once created.

Dynamic QR Codes are tied to your account. Dynamic QR Codes encode a link to our Service which serves the actual content. That allows you to update the content of a Dynamic QR Code at a later point in time and see scan statistics. We do not limit the number of scans of your Dynamic QR Codes. Depending on your subscription plan and availability, people scanning your Dynamic QR Codes may see our branding for a few seconds before being shown the actual content. This can be removed by upgrading if needed.

We also reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions and our privacy policy at any time.
