When QRMint is the right choice
You want a QR code that works forever on printed material, with your logo and colors, without creating an account or worrying about a trial expiring. Privacy matters — WiFi passwords and contacts are encoded locally, never uploaded.
When a paid platform makes sense
You run large campaigns and need to retarget destinations after printing, A/B test landing pages, or report scan analytics to a client. That requires dynamic codes — see our Premium plan or an enterprise platform like Uniqode.
