QRCodeChimp gives you more for free and costs less once you pass 100 codes. Its Pro plan holds 300 dynamic codes for $167.88 a year. QuickQRC costs less up to 100 codes, with Pro at $57.60 a year, and it never pauses a code because of a monthly scan limit. QRCodeChimp pauses codes on its Free, Starter and Pro plans when the scan allowance runs out.
Disclosure: we make QuickQRC. QRCodeChimp’s figures come from its pricing page and help center, read on November 4, 2026 and rechecked on November 10, 2026. They are vendor-reported. We did not buy a QRCodeChimp plan or test its scan speed. Prices are in US dollars before tax.
What does each plan include?
QRCodeChimp shows yearly prices as a monthly rate, so we multiplied by 12 to put both tools on the same footing.
| Plan | Per year | Dynamic codes | Scans | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuickQRC Free | $0 | 5 | No plan cap | 1 |
| QuickQRC Pro | $57.60 | 100 | No plan cap | 3 |
| QuickQRC Business | $539.88 | 500 | No plan cap | 10 |
| QRCodeChimp Free | $0 | 10 | 1,000 a month | 1 |
| QRCodeChimp Starter | $83.88 | 50 | 10,000 a month | 1 |
| QRCodeChimp Pro | $167.88 | 300 | 150,000 a month | 2 accounts |
| QRCodeChimp Ultima | $419.88 | 900 | Unlimited | 4 accounts |
Paid monthly, QRCodeChimp costs $9.99 for Starter, $19.99 for Pro and $49.99 for Ultima. QuickQRC Pro is $5.99 monthly. QRCodeChimp also sells Ultima 2x to 5x, with up to 4,500 codes, and a custom Enterprise plan. QuickQRC’s Enterprise plan is sold through sales from $149.99 a month.
QRCodeChimp counts users as a main account plus sub-accounts. QuickQRC counts team members on one shared account.
Which is cheaper for your number of codes?
- Up to 5 codes: free on both.
- 6 to 10 codes: free on QRCodeChimp if total scans stay under 1,000 a month. QuickQRC needs Pro, at $57.60.
- 11 to 50 codes: $57.60 on QuickQRC Pro, $83.88 on QRCodeChimp Starter.
- 51 to 100 codes: $57.60 on QuickQRC Pro, $167.88 on QRCodeChimp Pro.
- 101 to 300 codes: QRCodeChimp Pro wins clearly, at $167.88 against $539.88 for QuickQRC Business.
- 301 to 900 codes: QRCodeChimp Ultima is $419.88. QuickQRC Business costs more and stops at 500 codes. Beyond that you need our Enterprise plan.
Above 100 codes, QuickQRC is the more expensive tool, and we would rather say so than hide it. Business makes sense over QRCodeChimp only if you need 10 users on one account and two years of scan history.
What happens when a monthly scan limit runs out?
This is the difference that matters most for printed codes. QRCodeChimp’s help article on paused codes says dynamic codes are paused automatically once the plan’s scan limit is reached. To fix it, you wait for the monthly reset or upgrade. The limit is shared across all your dynamic codes, so one busy code can pause the quiet ones too.
Here is how that plays out. Say a restaurant group puts Starter codes on 20 tables, and each table gets 25 scans a day. That is 500 scans a day across the account, so the 10,000 monthly allowance runs out around day 20. For the rest of the month, every code on the account is paused, not just the busy ones. On the Free plan, 1,000 scans a month runs out after two days at that rate.
Pro’s 150,000 a month, about 5,000 a day, is enough for most small businesses. Ultima has no scan limit. QuickQRC sets no scan limit on any plan. You can still set one yourself on a single code, for a contest that should close after 500 entries, for example.
Before you choose a QRCodeChimp plan, multiply your expected daily scans by 30 and compare the result with the plan’s monthly allowance. Leave room for a busy month.
How much scan data does each free plan show?
QRCodeChimp splits analytics into three levels. Its analytics article says Basic shows code counts and total and unique scans. Intermediate adds shared analytics, and Advanced adds location, device, browser, timeline and hour-by-hour views. The pricing page puts Basic on Free, Intermediate on Starter and Advanced on Pro and Ultima. Exporting analytics needs Ultima, according to its export article.
On QuickQRC, every plan shows scans broken down by country, city, device and OS, and Free keeps 3 months of them. CSV export starts at Pro. So you get the most for $0 on QuickQRC if you need to know where scans came from, not only how many there were. On QRCodeChimp, you get that view from Pro, at $167.88 a year.
QRCodeChimp goes further at the top. Pro adds GPS-based location, which a scanner’s phone shares only if they allow it. It also adds a daily analytics email. QuickQRC reports country and city from the network, and it sends an email alert on each scan from Pro.
What happens if you stop paying?
QRCodeChimp’s plan expiry article says your account moves to the Free plan. Only 10 dynamic codes stay active, with 1,000 scans a month between them, and the rest are paused. Its free plan article says the first 10 codes are the ones that stay active, so choose which codes you create first with that in mind. Paused codes start working again when you renew, and nothing needs reprinting.
That is fairer than most vendors, and much fairer than a code that goes dead for good. For a business with 200 printed codes, though, 190 of them stop until you pay again.
On QuickQRC, every dynamic code keeps redirecting after a paid plan lapses. Editing and analytics pause until you renew. There are two exceptions. A password-protected code stays closed if your plan no longer covers passwords, and any expiry date or scan limit you set on a code still applies. Our subscription-end comparison lists the policies of ten vendors.
QRCodeChimp offers a full refund within 15 days of your first purchase. QuickQRC does not refund part-used periods, but it reviews duplicate charges or an unused renewal you meant to cancel if you contact us within 14 days, as our terms explain.
Where does QRCodeChimp win?
- Volume per dollar above 100 codes: 300 codes for $167.88 and 900 for $419.88.
- A bigger free plan: 10 dynamic codes against our 5, as long as scans stay under 1,000 a month.
- Digital business cards: they work with Apple Wallet and Google Wallet, NFC and contact exchange, and every plan includes some. QuickQRC’s vCard Plus page offers a downloadable contact file, but it has no wallet passes or NFC tools.
- Forms and lead capture: landing pages can hold forms on every plan, with monthly response limits from 5 on Free to 450 on Ultima. HubSpot and Salesforce connections start at Pro.
- Geofencing and GPS location: both from Pro. QuickQRC can route scans by country, device, OS or language, but it has no geofence.
- White label domain: from Ultima, at $419.88. QuickQRC’s custom domains start at Business, at $539.88, and need a subdomain.
- AI assistant access: its MCP integration lets you manage codes and read analytics from assistants such as ChatGPT and Claude, on every plan. QuickQRC offers a REST API but no MCP connection.
- Design extras: 3D codes, stickers and pre-designed codes on every plan.
Where does QuickQRC win?
- No monthly scan limit: a busy code never pauses your other codes, on any plan.
- Location and device data for free: QRCodeChimp shows it from Pro.
- Price up to 100 codes: $57.60 a year for 100 codes, against $83.88 for 50 or $167.88 for 300.
- Codes after you leave: all dynamic codes keep redirecting, not only the first 10.
- Branding on hosted pages: QRCodeChimp’s free pages carry a promotional footer, and its help article says removing it needs a paid plan. QuickQRC’s page builder lets you switch off the “Powered by QuickQRC” line yourself.
- Larger free uploads: files up to 10 MB on Free, against 2 MB.
- Teams: Pro includes 3 users, and Business includes 10 with single sign-on. QRCodeChimp’s Starter has 1 account and Pro has 2.
- Static codes made in your browser: what you type for a Wi-Fi or contact code is not sent to us. We list 50 static types and 61 frames.
QuickQRC has gaps beyond those above. The dashboard is English only, and there is no native app.

On November 10, 2026 we could confirm prices, code counts, scan allowances, accounts, upload sizes, form responses and the help articles above. We could not confirm from the pricing page which plan each of geofencing, GPS location, wallet passes, white label domains and CRM connections starts on, so check its live comparison table for those. We will re-check these figures each quarter.
