Where QR Tiger wins
- Bulk-create UI — Upload a CSV of 500 destinations, get 500 QR codes in one zip. QR Track has bulk via API; QR Tiger has it via dashboard.
- Template library — 800+ pre-built designs by industry. QR Track produces functional codes; design polish is your job.
- Zero setup — Sign up, create a code in seconds. No server, no install.
- Mature dashboard — Folder organization, team accounts, white-label option on enterprise.
Where QR Track wins
- Dynamic codes are free — QR Tiger’s free tier is static-only; their paid plan starts at $7/month for 3 dynamic codes. QR Track has no free/paid split.
- No artificial caps — 3 dynamic codes (QR Tiger Lite) is fine for a small business; insufficient for any campaign with multiple landing pages, locations, or test variants. QR Track has no count limit.
- Tracking history — Forever vs. limited. Multi-year campaigns benefit from never-deleted scan logs.
- API in the free tier — QR Tiger’s API requires the paid plan. QR Track ships with the API enabled.
- Source code — Audit security, modify behavior, host where you want. QR Tiger is closed-source SaaS.
