    What's included in every plan

    Every plan - including the free one - ships with the core features that make dynamic QR codes useful: live destination edits, unlimited scans, and codes that do not expire.

    Update after you've printed

    Change the destination URL, file, image, or content of any QR code at any time. The printed code keeps scanning to the new target - no reprints, no stickers.

    Real scan analytics

    See total scans, scan locations, device types, and which QR codes drive the most engagement - across every campaign you run.

    Brand-matched designs

    Match every QR code to your brand: custom colours, gradients, embedded logos, frames, and a landing page that looks like you, not us.

    How QR Cake pricing works

    Predictable pricing, no surprise charges. Pay only when QR Cake is actually generating value for you.

    1. Start on the free plan

      Start free with up to five dynamic QR codes - no card, no trial timer. Use it for as long as you want.

    2. Upgrade when it makes sense

      When you're ready to remove the redirect ad, ship to clients, or run more than five live codes, upgrade in two clicks.

    3. Print and update anytime

      Print, ship, embed in packaging. Update the destination as often as you need - the printed code keeps working.

    How billing works

    All paid plans are billed monthly or annually in your local currency. You can switch tiers, pause, or cancel from your dashboard at any time. If you cancel a paid plan, the QR codes you've already printed keep working forever - scans simply show a short ad before redirecting, so a physical campaign you've printed never goes dead because of a billing change. Prices already include VAT or sales tax where it applies, and the tax is shown on your receipt, so a VAT-registered business can usually reclaim it.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Quick answers about dynamic QR codes, plans, printing and scanning.

    A dynamic QR code is a QR code that stores a short redirect link instead of the final destination, so you can change where it points after it has been printed. The printed pattern stays the same while you update the destination from a dashboard. Every code saved to a QR Cake account is dynamic, free plan included, and never expires, so you can swap a menu, PDF, video or link list without reprinting anything.
    A static QR code stores its destination directly in the pattern, so it can never be changed once the code is made. A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect link instead, so you can change where it points at any time, even after it is printed. Every code you save to a QR Cake account is dynamic, and on the Pro and Business plans you can also see scan analytics for it.
    Use a dynamic QR code whenever the link, file or page behind it might change after you print it. The printed code stays the same while you point it somewhere new, so a typo, a moved web page or next season's menu is a quick edit instead of a reprint. QR Cake's Pro and Business plans also add scan analytics: how many scans, when, and from which countries and devices.
    Most free QR code generators only make static codes, which cost nothing to run because the destination sits in the pattern itself. Dynamic codes need a redirect service on every scan, which is why they are usually paywalled. QR Cake pays for its free plan with a short QR Cake page (a brief ad) shown before the destination opens, and any paid plan removes it. A free account holds up to 5 dynamic codes that never expire.
    Click Create to save your code to your QR Cake account, then click Download and pick SVG, PNG, JPEG or WebP. Hosted types such as PDF, video or vCard show only a preview until they are saved. A Website code can also be downloaded without saving, but that copy is static and can never be changed. Use SVG for print, since it scales to any size; the other formats export at 2048 px.
    Yes. QR Cake lets you make a QR code for free, with no credit card or design software. Pick one of 11 types, such as Website, PDF or vCard, add your content, style it and click Create. Saving needs a free account, which makes the code dynamic and editable; the free plan covers 5 codes, and each scan shows a short QR Cake page first. Only a Website code can be downloaded without an account, and that copy is static.
    A QR code stores a string of text, most often a web address. A saved QR Cake code stores a short QR Cake link, so it can open a website, a link list, images, a video, app download links, an event page, a file, a PDF, audio, a vCard or a review page. Scanning it with a phone's built-in camera opens the content in the browser, with no app to install. On the free plan a short QR Cake page appears for a few seconds first; paid plans skip it.
    A QR code from QR Cake is ready in seconds. Add your content, pick a design and click Create; QR Cake saves the code and opens it ready to download, with no processing queue. The only waits are uploading a large video, audio file or PDF and, if you are not signed in, logging in or making a free account first.
    Yes, as long as it is a dynamic code saved to your QR Cake account. From the dashboard you can change where a code points or what its page shows, and rename, duplicate, pause or delete it, while the printed image keeps working without a reprint. Changes can take a few minutes to go live because pages are cached briefly. A static code downloaded without saving can never be edited.
    Yes. A free QR Cake account holds up to 5 dynamic QR codes, and scans are unlimited on every plan. The Basic, Pro and Business plans hold more codes; the pricing page lists each plan's limit. All your codes sit in one dashboard, where you can name, search and sort them and edit or delete any of them.
    Yes. A QR Cake code is a standard image (PNG, SVG, JPG, or WebP), so you can embed it in a website, drop it into an email signature, post it on social media, or print it on physical materials like flyers, packaging, business cards, or signage. The same code works in every location, and if it is a dynamic code you can update its destination later without changing the image.
    Most modern smartphones can scan QR codes directly from the built-in camera app. Open the camera, point it at the QR code, and tap the link that appears. No separate scanner app is needed on recent iPhones (iOS 11 and later) or most recent Android phones.
