Free vs Paid QR Code Generator: Which One is Better?

Planning on creating QR Codes for one of your upcoming campaigns? You might have already started exploring various QR Code generators online.

00:00 – Introduction
00:50 – Why use a paid QR Code Generator?

But here’s the thing—while exploring the available options, you stumbled upon both free and paid services. And you’re wondering—which one should I choose? Do I even need to pay for a service that can be availed for free?

Well, if you’re a serious marketer, you may have to avoid using a free service. Why? Well, most 'free' QR Code generators simply offer you static QR Codes with basic functionality. For example, storing a website link, text, or basic contact details.

Static QR Codes, once created, cannot be edited. And that’s not all. Here are six strong reasons why a paid QR Code generator is better:

Paid services help you create Dynamic QR Codes. Unlike the static ones, they can be edited anytime without having to create a new QR Code

The dynamic QR Codes offered by professional service providers come with scan tracking capabilities. They help you see how many people scanned your QR Code, the time they scanned it, the device they used, and even their location

And that’s not where it ends. They can even help you monitor the exact GPS location of scans and how the audience interacts with the QR Code after scanning it.

They also offer you third-party integrations for scan tracking.

Most free QR Code generators show mobile ads to your end-users before showing them the actual content. This hinders the user experience which can be harmful to your campaign performance

But with paid services, you don’t face this problem.

Also, most QR Codes are added to print media creatives. And for that, you must avoid downloading the QR Code image in raster formats such as PNG and JPG. Images in these formats get pixelated when resized

So, you must opt for high-resolution vector formats such as PDF, SVG, or EPS. These images are suitable for printing purposes and don’t pixelate despite any resizing. And these formats are usually offered by professional service providers.

Paid QR Code generators allow you to customize your QR Code design. You can do it by adding colors and a logo or a background image to the QR Code

Customized QR Codes act as a point-of-engagement to attract more scans than plain black-and-white ones. That means both branding and higher engagement for your campaign. That’s exactly what a marketer wants, right?

Finally, there are many advanced features that only professional QR Code generators provide. For example,
Generating leads
Password protecting the QR Code
Creating a mobile landing page for your end-users without having a website

To summarize, while free services help you create QR Codes, they lack many important features.

For marketers who want their campaigns to be successful and efficient, a paid service is the better option.

QR Code generators such as Scanova can help you run end-to-end QR Code-based campaigns in minutes.
