An alternative to QRCodeChimp
QRCodeChimp has a generous free plan, with 10 dynamic codes and 1,000 scans a month, and paid plans from $6.99 a month billed yearly. According to its help centre, if you stop paying 10 codes stay active and the rest are paused.
With QR Studio every code keeps working when you stop paying, and the €9 plan has no limit on codes or scans.
Why switch to QR Studio
Every code keeps working
Stop paying and all your codes keep leading where they did, not just 10. You lose editing and new statistics, not the people scanning your prints.
No limit on codes
Unlimited dynamic codes and scans in the €9 Pro plan; third-party sources put QRCodeChimp's entry plan at 50 dynamic codes.
In your language and currency
Final prices in euro and an interface in English, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French and German.

What QR Studio doesn't do (yet)
To choose well you should know this too:
- No ready-made connectors for tools like Zapier, HubSpot or Canva: there's an API and webhooks instead.
- No phone apps, single sign-on (SSO) or custom enterprise contracts.
- A young service, without years of track record or millions of users behind it.
- No NFC tags and no large library of ready-made templates.
How to switch
- 01Create your account and pick a plan.
- 02Recreate your codes, one by one or in bulk from a CSV file, with your colours, logo and frame.
- 03For codes already printed, keep them active on the old service until you reprint, or point them to your new QR Studio links.
Questions
What happens to QRCodeChimp codes if I stop paying?
According to QRCodeChimp, 10 codes stay active and the rest are paused. In QR Studio every code keeps working: you lose editing and new statistics, not the redirect.
Can I move my codes to QR Studio?
You can recreate your codes in QR Studio in a few minutes, also in bulk from a CSV file. Codes already printed use the other service's links: keep them active there until you reprint, or, while you can still edit them, point them to your new QR Studio links.
Is QRCodeChimp's free plan enough?
For a few codes it can be: it includes 10 dynamic codes and 1,000 scans a month. If you print many codes, or materials that stay out for a long time, count how many you'll need next year and what happens to them if you stop paying.
