For reviewers and press
QR Cake, the facts
QR Cake is a dynamic QR code generator from Scripted Tools Ltd in the UK. A dynamic code stores a short QR Cake link, so where it points can change after it is printed. This page lists what the free plan includes and leaves out, what the paid plans cost, and where to find screenshots and logos. Each row names the page it comes from.

The free plan
What a reviewer usually compares first. These apply to a free account with no card on file.
- Dynamic QR codes
- 5 per account. Each one is editable and trackable in the dashboard. Scans are unlimited on every plan.
- Help
- Edit after printing
- Yes. Change where a code points or what its page shows from the dashboard; the printed image keeps working without a reprint.
- Help
- Expiry
- None. A saved code keeps working as long as the account exists, including after a paid plan is cancelled.
- No-expiry page
- What scanners see
- On the free plan, each scan first shows a short QR Cake page with an ad for 5 seconds, then opens the link. Any paid plan removes that page.
- Pricing
- Scan analytics
- Not on the free plan. Pro and Business show scans over time, by country, city, device and hour, plus a live feed.
- Pricing
- Custom domains
- Not on the free plan. Pro and Business let codes carry the customer's own subdomain (such as qr.yourbrand.com) instead of the default short link, set up with a CNAME and a TXT record.
- Pricing
- Account
- Saving a code needs a free account, which is what makes it dynamic. A Website code can also be downloaded without an account as a static code.
- Help
- Downloads
- PNG, SVG, JPEG and WebP. Raster files are 2,048 px on the long edge; SVG scales to any print size.
