Why people switch to QRVow
- Codes never pause, whatever happens to your plan.
- Pro is $5 a month instead of $39.99.
- Three dynamic codes free forever, instead of a 7-day trial.
Where QR.io is stronger
- Unlimited codes, API and 5 team members on one flat plan.
- A large library of QR types and landing pages.
If you need these, QR.io may suit you better. We'd rather you pick the right tool.
Switching from QR.io
- Make a QRVow code for each destination (3 dynamic codes are free; Pro covers 100).
- Codes you already printed point at QR.io's short links, which only they control. Keep their plan running while you reprint, or swap the printed codes as each batch is due for a refresh.
- From then on, your codes point at QRVow and keep working whether or not you keep paying.
Questions
Is QRVow a good free alternative to QR.io?
For most small businesses, yes: static codes are free and unlimited, 3 dynamic codes are free forever, and no QRVow code ever stops working, even if you never pay or later cancel.
Can I move my existing QR.io codes to QRVow?
Not the printed ones: they point at QR.io's own short links, which only they can redirect. Make new QRVow codes and replace the printed ones over time.
