The QR Code Generator (TQRCG) vs. QR TIGER

Roy opened a quick-service restaurant last spring and did the smart thing. He put a free dynamic QR Code on every table, each one linking to his menu. Word got around, the tables filled up, and within a few weeks, his little spot was packed. Then the QR Codes stopped scanning. The menu and QR Codes were fine, but his free plan had a scan cap, and all that footfall had blown right past it.

Roy did not know much about QR Codes, so he found out the hard way. You do not have to. QR TIGER's free plan works similarly, so if you run a high-scan use case, like a busy menu, on its free tier, you can hit the same wall and start looking to switch. The real question is where you go next, and one clear option is The QR Code Generator (TQRCG).

In this blog, we compare TQRCG and QR TIGER on their free plans, pricing, analytics, and how each one holds up once your QR Codes get busy, so you can choose the right tool before you print.

What is QR TIGER?

QR TIGER is a QR Code generator for marketers and businesses that need branded, trackable QR Codes. It offers one free plan and three paid plans.

The free plan gives you 3 dynamic QR Codes, each capped at 500 scans, plus unlimited static QR Codes. Paid plans remove the scan cap and increase the number of dynamic QR Codes. Regular costs $7/month and includes 12 dynamic QR Codes; Advanced costs $16/month and includes 200 dynamic QR Codes; and Premium costs $37/month and includes 600 dynamic QR Codes and 2 users.

QR TIGER supports QR Code customization, saved templates, and scan analytics covering scans, devices, and locations. Dynamic QR Codes stop resolving once a paid plan lapses, which means canceling a subscription can deactivate QR Codes you have already printed.

What is The QR Code Generator (TQRCG)?

The QR Code Generator (TQRCG) is a QR Code platform for small and mid-sized businesses, with a free plan and paid options for users who need more dynamic QR Codes. TQRCG works in your browser, and you can create static QR Codes without signing up. Its free plan requires no credit card.

The free plan gives you 2 dynamic QR Codes with no scan cap, plus unlimited static QR Codes. The 2 free dynamic QR Codes never expire, and you can edit their destinations at any point in time. When you need more dynamic QR Codes, you can upgrade to Flex at $5/month, the Core plan (powered by Uniqode) at $49/month, or the Plus plan (powered by Uniqode) at $99/month.

TQRCG supports QR Code types, including URL, PDF, vCard, SMS, email, audio, video, location, and Google Sheets. You can customize QR Codes with logos, colors, frames, patterns, and saved templates. TQRCG is also SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliant.

How The QR Code Generator and QR TIGER compare

Free plans and dynamic QR Codes

Both The QR Code Generator and QR TIGER offer a permanent free plan, so the real difference lies in how much usable tracking you get. TQRCG's free plan includes 2 dynamic QR Codes that never expire with no scan cap, plus unlimited static QR Codes. QR TIGER's free plan includes 3 dynamic QR Codes, but limits each one to 500 scans.

That scan limit impacts printed campaigns, as a menu or flyer QR Code can easily cross 500 scans. At that point, QR TIGER's free plan no longer covers it. TQRCG's 2 free dynamic QR Codes track unlimited scans and never expire.

Both free plans add light branding to your QR Codes: TQRCG shows a loading page on its free dynamic QR Codes, and QR TIGER adds a logo pop-up. Removing that branding takes a paid plan on either tool. Both tools let you edit a dynamic QR Code's destination after printing, and neither limits static QR Codes. When you need more than 2 dynamic QR Codes on TQRCG, you upgrade for a higher dynamic QR Code count.

QR Code types and customization

Both tools create a wide range of QR Code types and let you brand every QR Code. TQRCG supports URL, PDF, vCard, SMS, email, audio, video, location, and Google Sheets QR Codes. You can style any of them with logos, colors, frames, patterns, and ready-made templates, with advanced customization available on the Core plan (powered by Uniqode).

QR TIGER supports a comparable set of QR Code types, along with design customization, saved templates, and a Canva integration for reusing a brand style across QR Codes. On QR Code variety and customization, the two tools are close.

The QR Code Generator keeps the setup simple, so you can build and brand a QR Code without technical steps. That makes it a practical choice for marketers and small teams who want branded QR Codes quickly.

Analytics and reporting

Both tools report the core scan data you need: total scans, scan location, device type, and scan time. QR TIGER adds a GPS heat map and a map chart to its higher tiers for visualize where scans occur.

TQRCG publishes clear scan analytics retention by plan: 14 days on the Free plan, 60 days on the Flex plan, 90 days on the Core plan, and 180 days on the Plus plan. TQRCG also adds CSV export of scan data from the Flex plan, so you can pull scan history into your own reports.

Deeper analytics sit behind paid tiers on both tools, at different price points. QR TIGER unlocks Google Analytics integration and custom UTM parameters on its Advanced plan at $16/month. TQRCG unlocks integrations and its QR Code API on the Core plan (powered by Uniqode) at $49/month. GPS-based scan location is included with the Core plan on TQRCG or as a Flex add-on, while QR TIGER includes it on the Premium plan at $37/month.

Print-ready export formats

Both tools export QR Codes as PNG and SVG, so on download formats they match. PNG suits digital placements like websites, emails, and social posts. SVG is the format for print, since it stays sharp at any size, from a business card to a billboard. For most web and print jobs, PNG and SVG give you what you need.

Bulk QR Code generation

The QR Code Generator includes bulk QR Code creation from the Flex plan at $5/month, so you can generate many QR Codes at once for products, store locations, event badges, and packaging. QR TIGER includes bulk generation from its Advanced plan at $16/month, at up to 3,000 QR Codes per batch, and does not offer it on the Regular plan.

Bulk generation is well-suited to large rollouts where each item needs its own trackable QR Code. TQRCG offers bulk creation at a lower paid tier than QR TIGER, lowering the entry cost for a first bulk campaign.

Pricing and plan structure

The two tools are priced on different logic. TQRCG leads on the entry point and on team access: its lowest paid plan starts at $5/month, and the Plus plan (powered by Uniqode) is the only plan on either tool that includes more than one user, at 3 users with room to add more. QR TIGER leads on raw dynamic QR Code count, topping out at 600 dynamic QR Codes on Premium against 500 on TQRCG Plus. Choose TQRCG for a lower starting price and shared team access, and QR TIGER for the most dynamic QR Codes at one flat price.

Which QR Code generator should you choose?

The right tool depends less on feature checklists and more on how you plan to deploy and manage QR Codes over time. Four questions separate the two tools in practice.

How long will your QR Codes stay in the field?

Match the tool to the shelf life of your printed material. A dynamic QR Code only works while its provider maintains the redirect behind it, so the longer an asset stays in circulation, the more continuity matters.

For a one-off event, either tool works. For menus, signage, packaging, or business cards that stay in use for months, TQRCG's 2 free dynamic QR Codes stay live on the free plan, so the printed asset does not depend on a paid subscription. On TQRCG, those 2 free dynamic QR Codes remain active on the free plan, while paid dynamic QR Codes require an active subscription to keep resolving. On QR TIGER, dynamic QR Codes require an active paid plan after the free scan limit is reached, so plan for continuity on long-lived print runs.

Will your busiest QR Code outgrow the free plan?

Think in scans, not in the number of QR Codes. One QR Code in a high-traffic location does more work than several in quiet spots, so the useful measure of a free plan is how many scans each QR Code can absorb.

QR TIGER's free plan offers 3 dynamic QR Codes but stops each at 500 scans, which a busy menu or storefront clears in days. TQRCG's free plan offers 2 dynamic QR Codes with no scan cap, so a single well-placed QR Code can track throughout a full campaign.

How will you use the scan data?

Scan counts help only if you can keep, export, and act on them. If you review results within a few weeks, the free plans on both tools cover it. If you compare performance across a quarter or a season, retention length matters, and TQRCG publishes windows up to 180 days on the Plus Plan. If scan data feeds your own reports or a CRM, look at CSV export, which TQRCG includes from Flex, and integrations, which QR TIGER adds on the Advanced and TQRCG adds on the Core Plan. Match the plan to the depth of your reporting.

Who needs access, and where do you go next?

Factor in your team and your next 12 months, not only today. A solo creator needs one login, and QR TIGER keeps every plan at a single user, which fits individual use. A marketing team, an agency, or a multi-location business needs shared seats and, in time, compliance and API access. TQRCG adds user seats on the Plus plan and connects into the Uniqode ecosystem. It is also SOC 2, ISO 27001, and GDPR compliant, and provides API access and GS1 support without moving to a different tool.

The table below maps common priorities to a better fit.

Start free and scale when you are ready

The choice between TQRCG and QR TIGER comes down to how you want to grow. TQRCG gives you a free plan you can keep, uncapped scans on your free dynamic QR Codes, and a direct path into the Uniqode ecosystem when your program needs compliance, API access, or more seats. You can test a full campaign before you pay anything, and your printed QR Codes keep working as long as your account stays active.
