For a small business, QuickQRC costs less at list price: Pro is $57.60 a year for 100 dynamic codes, while Flowcode’s Pro Plus is $300 a year for 50. Flowcode makes more sense for large brands that want CRM links, audience retargeting, and a sales-led rollout with onboarding support.
Disclosure: we make QuickQRC. Flowcode’s figures are vendor-reported, from its pricing page, help center and terms, read on October 31, 2026 and rechecked on November 10, 2026. We did not buy a plan or test its scan speed.
Which Flowcode are you comparing?
Flowcode now sells two products. Flowcode 2 is an enterprise platform with usage-based or custom pricing, and you buy it by booking a demo. Flowcode 1, labeled “for Individuals” and described in its sign-in menu as a classic QR code manager, is the self-serve product with a free plan and published prices.
The pricing page opens on the enterprise tab, so some buyers miss the self-serve plans. Those plans are what a small business would actually compare, and they are what we compare here.
What do the plans include?
| Plan | Per year | Dynamic codes | Landing pages | Scan data |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuickQRC Free | $0 | 5 | 1 | All scans, kept 3 months |
| QuickQRC Pro | $57.60 | 100 | 10 | All scans, kept 1 year |
| QuickQRC Business | $539.88 | 500 | 50 | All scans, kept 2 years |
| Flowcode Free | $0 | 2 | 2 | Up to 500 scans |
| Flowcode Pro Plus | $300 | 50 | 50 | Up to 6,000 scans |
| Flowcode Growth | $3,000 and up | From 150 | From 150 | First 10,000 scans included |
Yearly figures for Flowcode are its $25 and $250 monthly rates multiplied by 12, as both are shown billed annually. QuickQRC Pro includes 3 users. Flowcode Pro Plus shows 3 seats on its plan card and 5 in its feature table, so confirm your count before buying.
The “500 scans” and “6,000 scans” figures limit analytics, not scanning. Flowcode’s comparison table lists codes that “Always scan”, so a popular code should not break; confirm this for your plan. It does mean a busy poster on Pro Plus can run past the scans you can report on. No QuickQRC plan puts a scan-count limit on analytics.
What does it cost at your size?
- Up to 2 codes: free on both, with no ads on either at the check date.
- 3 to 5 codes: free on QuickQRC, $300 on Flowcode.
- 6 to 50 codes: $57.60 on QuickQRC, $300 on Flowcode.
- 51 to 100 codes: $57.60 on QuickQRC. Flowcode’s next step is Growth at $3,000.
- Over 100 codes: QuickQRC Business is $539.88 for up to 500 codes, while Flowcode Growth starts at $3,000 for 150.
What happens to printed codes if you stop paying?
Flowcode’s documents do not fully agree, so read them before you print. Its help article from December 2023 says that after a downgrade to the free plan your Flowcodes will continue to scan, with only the 2 most recent editable. Its terms of use, posted in March 2024, say codes above the free limit will be archived and redirected to flowcode.com or another location it chooses, with no analytics.
The terms are newer and carry more weight, so we would assume codes beyond the free limit may not reach your page. Ask Flowcode to confirm before you print a large run. Its terms also say payments are non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise.
QuickQRC dynamic codes keep redirecting after a paid plan lapses, and editing and analytics pause until you renew. Password-protected codes stay closed if your plan no longer covers passwords, and any expiry or scan limit you set still applies.
Where does Flowcode win?
- Enterprise marketing: Flowcode 2 offers retargeting audiences, CRM and CDP connections, workspaces and brand kits. QuickQRC does not compete at this level.
- Landing pages: Pro Plus includes 50 and Free includes 2, more than QuickQRC at either level.
- Security paperwork: its feature table lists CCPA, GDPR and SOC-II compliance, and its site shows a SOC 2 Type 2 badge (vendor-reported). QuickQRC publishes no SOC 2 certification.
- Design help: paid plans include artist-designed code templates.
Where does QuickQRC win?
- Price: twice the codes on Pro for about a fifth of the cost of Pro Plus.
- Complete scan data: analytics are not limited by scan count.
- API access: 1,000 requests a month on Free and 25,000 on Pro. Flowcode lists API access on Growth.
- Clear terms for printed codes: no redirect to our site if you stop paying.
- Free static codes: 50 types with no account.
QuickQRC has limits as well: no native app, an English-only dashboard, and custom domains only from Business, on a subdomain.
Which should you pick?
If a sales team, CRM integration and audience data are the point of your project, book a Flowcode demo. If you need dynamic codes with scan reports that are not limited by scan count, create a free dynamic code on QuickQRC and test it on a real print.
