These two tools suit different buyers. QuickQRC fits individuals and businesses that need up to 500 dynamic codes at a lower price, a real free plan, and printed codes that keep working after they stop paying. Uniqode fits organizations that need published security certifications, more than 500 codes, or round-the-clock support.
Disclosure: we make QuickQRC, so read this as a vendor’s comparison. Uniqode’s figures are vendor-reported, from its own help center and website, linked below. We checked them on October 31, 2026 and rechecked them on November 10, 2026. We did not buy a Uniqode plan or test its scan speed, and prices may have changed since.
What does each plan include?
Uniqode bills yearly by default, and its plans article, dated September 22, 2026, shows prices as a monthly rate. We converted them to yearly totals so both tools read the same way.
| Plan | Yearly cost | Dynamic codes | Analytics kept | Hosted pages | Users |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| QuickQRC Free | $0 | 5 | 3 months | 1 | 1 |
| QuickQRC Pro | $57.60 | 100 | 1 year | 10 | 3 |
| QuickQRC Business | $539.88 | 500 | 2 years | 50 | 10 |
| Uniqode Essential | $108 | 15 | 60 days | 5 | 1 |
| Uniqode Core | $588 | 250 | 90 days | 10 | 1 |
| Uniqode Plus | $1,188 | 500 | 180 days | 25 | 3 |
| Uniqode Business+ | $4,788 | 2,000 | Lifetime | 100 | 5 |
QuickQRC’s figures are from its pricing page. Pro can also be paid monthly at $5.99. Both companies sell a higher custom tier through sales, and QuickQRC’s starts from $149.99 a month.
Uniqode has no free dynamic plan. It offers a 14-day trial, and its dynamic codes stop working when the trial ends unless you upgrade. Static codes are free on both tools.
Which is cheaper for your number of codes?
- Up to 5 codes: QuickQRC Free costs nothing and has no end date. On Uniqode you would need Essential, at $108.
- 6 to 15 codes: $57.60 on QuickQRC Pro, $108 on Uniqode Essential.
- 16 to 100 codes: this is the widest gap. QuickQRC Pro stays at $57.60, while Uniqode moves you to Core at $588. Over three years that is $172.80 against $1,764 at list price.
- 101 to 250 codes: close. QuickQRC Business is $539.88 and Uniqode Core is $588.
- 251 to 500 codes: QuickQRC Business stays at $539.88, while Uniqode Plus is $1,188.
- Over 500 codes: Uniqode Business+ or a custom contract from either company.
The per-code figure hides one more limit. Uniqode’s pricing FAQ says scan limits reset yearly and that running low means moving to a higher plan. No QuickQRC plan caps scans, though you can set a limit on a single code.
What happens to printed codes after you cancel?
Uniqode cancels at your renewal date, not immediately, so you keep what you paid for until then. After that, its help article says dynamic codes stop redirecting and you lose dashboard access. Your account and codes stay stored, and reactivating brings them back without reprinting. Static codes keep working, but you can no longer create new ones, so Uniqode advises swapping critical printed codes for static versions before you leave.
Uniqode’s pricing page also offers a 30-day money-back guarantee; read its terms for the conditions.
On QuickQRC, dynamic codes keep redirecting after a paid plan lapses, and editing and analytics pause until you renew. A password-protected code is the exception: if your plan no longer includes passwords, the code stays closed instead of opening to everyone. Any expiry date or scan limit you set on a code also still applies.
For a printed run you expect to outlast your subscription, this difference may matter more than price. The guide to whether QR codes expire explains the other ways a code can fail.
What does Uniqode do better?
- Security paperwork: Uniqode’s about page describes it as SOC 2 Type II, HIPAA, GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant. QuickQRC publishes none of those certifications. If your procurement team requires them, this decides it. Ask Uniqode for the audit report, because the page itself gives no dates or scope.
- Scale: Business+ includes 2,000 codes, lifetime analytics and one custom domain.
- Support: Uniqode lists 24/7 support on every plan.
- Integrations: Core adds Google Analytics, Zapier and an API.
- Extra products: Uniqode sells digital business cards as a separate product. Its plans also include QR forms, and GPS tracking starts at Core.
What does QuickQRC do better?
- Getting started: a free plan with 5 dynamic codes and no end date, where Uniqode offers a 14-day trial.
- Cost below 100 codes: Pro includes 100 codes for less than Uniqode Essential charges for 15.
- Analytics history: Pro keeps one year. Uniqode keeps 60 days on Essential, 90 on Core and 180 on Plus.
- Teams: Pro includes 3 users at $57.60 and Business 10 at $539.88. Uniqode’s first plan with 3 seats is Plus, at $1,188.
- Single sign-on and domains: Business includes both. On Uniqode they are paid add-ons on Plus and included on Business+, at $4,788.
- API at the entry price: Pro includes 25,000 requests a month and even Free includes 1,000. Uniqode lists its API from Core.
- Payment flexibility: Pro can be paid monthly. Uniqode’s pricing page says it currently offers annual plans only.
- After you leave: printed dynamic codes keep working, with the password exception above.
QuickQRC has gaps too. The dashboard is English only, there is no native app, and custom domains start at Business and need a subdomain.
Which should you choose?
Use two questions. Does a security or procurement review require certifications? If yes, shortlist Uniqode. If no, count the dynamic codes you will have live in the next year. At 100 or fewer, QuickQRC costs far less. Up to 500, QuickQRC Business still costs less. Above that, Uniqode Business+ offers 2,000 codes, though moving to it goes through its sales team.
To test the fit, create a free dynamic code on QuickQRC and use it on one real job. Not sure you need dynamic codes at all?
