The areas where QRdx is the stronger pick. The guide below also covers where QRStuff is the better choice.
Full styling without a suite
QRStuff's pricing table lists custom colors, gradients, shapes, frames, logos and AI styling on Full Suite ($25/mo) and above. QRdx includes all of these on the free tier.
No expiry, no scan caps
QRStuff's free dynamic codes expire 30 days after creation and the free plan is limited to 50 scans a month. QRdx static codes never expire, and QRdx dynamic codes have no scan limits on any plan and no expiry date unless you set one.
Developer-first React component
QRdx has a REST API and an npm package you embed in your app with TypeScript types. QRStuff is a hosted dashboard.
Open source
QRdx is AGPL-3.0 licensed and self-hostable. QRStuff is a proprietary platform.
QRdx or QRStuff: which should you use?
QRStuff is a QR platform that splits its features into suites. The free suite gets you a handful of codes; styling, vector export and analytics unlock as you move up through Lite, Full and Enterprise. QRdx puts every design and export feature on its free tier, makes static codes that never expire, and includes 10 dynamic codes with unlimited scans on the Free plan.
Who each tool is for
QRStuff fits teams that want hosted dynamic codes, many content types and analytics, and are happy to pay for a suite. Plans are Free, Lite Suite ($10/mo or $100/yr, with basic analytics), Full Suite ($25/mo or $270/yr, adding colors, gradients, shapes, frames, logos, AI styling and SVG/EPS export) and Enterprise ($250/mo or $2,700/yr, adding GPS-level and Google Analytics reporting).
QRdx fits anyone who wants a styled code with a logo for free, anyone who wants dynamic codes without scan caps, and developers who want to render codes in their own app.
Where QRStuff is the better choice
- You need GPS-level scan locations, which QRStuff includes on Enterprise. QRdx records country, region and city.
- You want one of QRStuff's many content types that QRdx doesn't host.
Key differences
- Free tier: QRStuff's free plan has 5 static codes and 10 dynamic codes that expire after 30 days, 50 scans a month, and no custom colors or logo. QRdx's free tier has unlimited, fully styled static codes plus 10 dynamic codes with unlimited scans.
- Design: QRdx offers 9 body patterns, 9 eye shapes, 11 eye-dot shapes, gradients, logos and six templates, all free.
- Editable codes: both host them. QRdx dynamic codes don't expire on their own and keep redirecting on every plan, even after you cancel.
- Openness: QRdx is open source (AGPL-3.0) with an npm package and CLI.
Switching from QRStuff
- Check which printed codes are dynamic; those depend on your QRStuff plan, and free dynamic codes expire after 30 days anyway.
- Recreate your style in the QRdx playground and save it as a theme.
- Point static codes straight at the destination, or use a QRdx dynamic code if it may change.
- Export SVG for print and test on a few phones.
