I was forced to upgrade my account when my code was disabled. There was no mention of the code being disabled and now, I have sent 3 emails with no response. I'm never getting my money back even though I cancelled literally 5 minutes after upgrading. This is a giant scam of a company and you should stay FAR AWAY from them. They do not care about customer service and are robbing people of money. QR code's can be found for free I wish I had never subscribed to this horrible website. I wish there was a ZERO STAR option.
Such a fun way to add activities in the classroom! It is such a fun way to add different activities into the classroom. You can post the warmup outside the door as a QR! Same activities just different aspects.

This site is terrible. They create codes that have to pass through their website so they control the link. Then they cut it so you have to pay them... forever. We had a bunch of stuff printed and had to pay for it all over again because the code stopped working... even though they said it was static and "free." RIH scammers.

It sounds as though you created your QR Code using our 14-Day Free Trial, rather than our Free Plan. Our Free Trial lets you test out all our great features, without committing to a paid subscription. Any Static QR Codes you create during this trial period will continue to work once it comes to an end. However, any Dynamic QR Codes you create will be paused and can be reactivated once you sign up for a paid plan.
Thanks,

They offer you a free QR code generator its the biggest lie on the Internet i made my code and it stopped working! You have to activate it for 35 dollars a month! When there are free options!
Alternatives use Shopify has a free tool or barcode monkey please use other companies instead because they suck like no tomorrow!

Don't touch them with a barge pole. I didn't cancel the subscription as my card details had expired anyway, but they sent letters threatening debt collection. Just cancel the subscription you mongs.
When I came upon their site, it led me right through the process of creating an account and creating my QR code. Not once did it mention free trial or that the QR code would expire. AFTER I received my new business cards with the QR code, I get an email that the QR code would expire in 1 day unless I pay a fee. Even the basic cost $73.39USD per, plus a foreign transaction fee (since they are in germany), and they still limit you to max number of scans.
Totally a scam, don't even waste your time on their website.

Your QR code will expire after 14 days unless you pay them at least $65 + tax for a whole year. We sent out a QR code on our wedding invites only to have it expire the first day they arrived. The company's responses to similar reviews say that the customer "must have been using the 14-day trial instead of the free account," blaming the customer for choosing the wrong option, but there is no visible "free" account that I could find anywhere on the site. The only way to even download the QR code is to sign up for a 14-day trial. I have never had a QR code expire on any other code generator I have ever used. I had no choice but to pay the fee. They don't even accept PayPal or Apple/GooglePay, which makes me nervous as I do not like to give my credit card info to unfamiliar companies. QR-code-generator-- if you are going to advertise yourself as free, have an actual, accessible FREE option.

MISLEADING website - they trick you in a 'dynamic' QR, which I never wanted, and after two weeks they let you pay at least 70 euros for a qr which is free on many websites. So go for another website!

Customer service- Awful or rather lack of response "only through a support email" how can you rate an experience that never happened. Situation was urgent due to lack of legacy process on our end. But that does not justify how holding QR codes hostage could help their business. To try and immediately fix the problem I paid by credit card and QR Code Generator has yet to reactivate (release the hostages). We have had to work through 5 days of down time.
Online Chat with no response - -
The pay by credit card button doesnt even work when I did access the account.

Cool options in making your QR code, but deceptive tactics try to get you to pay for annual subscriptions that very few people trying to make a code would ever need. As everyone says, your code is dead as soon as your trial or max scans is reached. I was willing to pay to extend it a week or two, but the quoted weekly price is only payable in yearly amounts.
I wish I'd have put more research into this, but I just figured they were interchangeable. I now have a dead QR code on some published material, and I'd rather have it be dead than pay them an annual fee.

The links to upgrade so that my FREE qr code would continue to work resulted in looping me back to the home page with no way to upgrade nor to look at plans and pricing. I received NO replies for emails I sent to website support email and to their 'Upgrade Now' emails that were sent to me religiously. I reached out to them Before my code expired. High note: the code worked beautifully during the first 14 days. Low note: Everything after the 14 days.

Be wary of this website. During the trial period, when I attempted to start my free plan, it asked me to pause any dynamic codes (over the one that was allowed under the free plan) which didn't make sense because I only had 1 code. However, I did pause the code I was using, and then proceeded to activate my free plan. However, the free plan button seems to be "broken" and never links anywhere when clicked. This is extremely frustrating and I would just like to activate my free plan and continue using my QR code.

I used this service to help design posters for school events. This made it very easy to include only the necessary information on a poster, and then get people to access a fuller site/fb event page after to see more details.
We were able to track stats and everything! Great service!

BUYER BEWARE: DON'T USE THIS SERVICE for free QR code generation.
Generating a QR Code is not rocket science, but unlike me - pay attention to your google search result and read the fine print. THIS SERVICE will hold their generated QR Corde for ransom after a few days so that you (or your client) need to pay an annual fee to use the non-proprietary QR Code graphic - Of course, you're paying for user metrics/tracking services that are completely unnecessary tech-fluff for most commercial and non-commercial uses.

I'm all for supporting developers who create useful products. However, the predatory monetization scheme of this service is a complete disgrace. I used the site to create a dynamic QR code knowing they had a free trial and that their documentation said they have a free option. However, If your trial runs out you can no longer pause any of your codes. If all of your codes aren't paused you can't create upgrade your account to the free version. So you're stuck in a loop on their trashbag of a website. But wait, there's more. Even if you know this trickery and get your code(s) paused before your trial runs out, the link to the free level account doesn't even go anywhere.

Stay away. There are other free options available. Be aware that they display prices for monthly plans but charge you for the entire year up front. You are unable to get a refund if you are dissatisfied with their services. I wish I had read the reviews on this site prior to providing my credit card information. Save yourself the headache. Don't keep this company in business.

I used this site to make a QR code on a sign for a local non profit dog park/humane society. They deactivated it without warning and now want a monthly fee to keep it active. We are all volunteers and I can't afford to pay every single month just to keep the code active. I also can't afford to make another sign. There is NOTHING on their website to indicate that the code will expire after the trial period. Incredibly shady. I can't believe this is legal.

The qr-code-generator is a scam, a fraud of website, they say that offer free 15 days to try but after few hours will block the QR code with the message: "The QR Code Campaign has reached it scan limit, please contact support to increase the amount of scans" and ask for money.
They wait until you print the code on the advertising materials and after they see that you have launched the campaign and you depend on their code, it blocks it and asks for money.
Is a misleading type of business and resort to blackmail to sell their services.
