Which one should you use?

You want to use QR-codes for your business, organization, or personal project. But with dozens of QR-code generators out there, which one should you choose? We’ve compared the five best QR-code generators for 2025 and found the perfect option for every situation.

In short

• There are countless QR-code generators available for your campaign;

• We’ve compared five of them: QR-code-generator.com, QRcode.me, The QR Code Generator, QR.io, and QRFY;

• We’ve compared them based on their features, support, customization, pricing, and reviews.

1. Features

All QR-code generators offer a range of static and dynamic QR-code types. We’re comparing 5 here.
QRcode.me has 20 types, QR-code-generator.com offers 13, QRFY 24, The QR Code Generator (TQRG) 12, and QR.io 22. All platforms support the most common types like URL, vCard, and plain text. But if you’re looking for something more niche, it’s worth browsing a bit.

QR.io, QR-code-generator.com, and QRFY also allow you to generate barcodes. The other platforms focus solely on QR-codes.

QR.io, QRFY, and QRcode.me also offer bulk generation, letting you quickly and efficiently create large batches of QR-codes, for example with serial numbers. These three platforms also support fully customized landing pages for your QR-codes.

Conclusion: While all generators cover the basics, some provide more extras—but there’s no clear winner in this category.

2. Support

QR-code generators differ quite a bit in terms of accessibility, help content, and customer service.

QRFY and QR-code-generator.com offer excellent blogs and FAQ pages, but they’re hard to contact. You’ll have to go through an AI chat assistant or contact form before reaching a human. QR.io provides even less info and can only be contacted through a form.

TQRG and QRcode.me are easier to contact. TQRG can be reached by phone and email, while QRcode.me can be reached through email, contact form, with an option to be called back. QRcode.me also provides quite extensive support content on their site.

Conclusion: When you’re in need of some support, TQRG and QRcode.me might be your best bets as QR-code generator.

QR.io, QRFY, and QR-code-generator.com might have decent support resources, but if you really run into trouble, it may take a while to get help.

With some generators, support can only be accessed after a lengthy conversation with an AI chatbot.

3. Customization

All selected platforms let you add logos, change colors, and use frames in your QR-codes. TQRG is the exception in this, as you cannot add frames here, and their customization options are very limited.

All generators but QRcode.me and TQRG offer API integration. QRcode.me currently does not offer this, but it does let you link your own domain, which creates a fully branded QR-code experience. QRFY offers this as well.

QR-code-generator.com offer “white label” QR-codes with their most expensive subscriptions, essentially allowing full branding and customization.

QRcode.me offers the best basic customization features—you can adjust the resolution, add a background image, and modify the corners and blocks of the QR-code with a wide range of colors and patterns. QRFY also has a wide selection of options. QR.io, QR-code-generator.com, and TQRG lag behind here.

For most users, these basic customization features will be the most important—and QRcode.me leads in this category. API integration is only really relevant for larger businesses, in which case QR-code-generator.com can be better suited.

Conclusion: Looking for a wide array of customization options? QRcode.me and QRFY are the best players in the game.

QR-codes are much more likely to be scanned if they have an appealing design, hence the importance of customization.

4. Pricing

Almost all platforms offer some free QR-code types—but you’ll quickly run into paywalls if you want advanced features like dynamic QR-codes.
QRcode.me is a noticeable exception: here, you can create both static and dynamic QR-codes for free. However, a QRcode.me logo will appear when the code is scanned. Want to remove that, or unlock extra features? Then you pay $9 for a single QR-code, $108.89 for 20, or $278.29 for 100. These are all one-time fees.

TQRG works in a similar way, although more features are restricted, and you can only create 2 free dynamic QR-codes. If you want an ad-free experience, they have a flexible model of pricing; you can pay exactly for the QR-codes you want. You pay a little over $60 for a subscription a year, plus $1.50 for every additional QR code a year. Hence, TQRG is about $133 a year for 50 QR-codes.

Other platforms work on a subscription basis as well. QRFY charges $278 per year for unlimited QR-codes. QR.io costs about $348 per year.

The QR Code Generator charges $375 annually for their cheapest plan (50 QR-codes) and $1126 per year for 200 codes. QR-code-generator.com is similar: $111/year for 2 QR-codes, $174/year for 50, and $521/year for 200.

In nearly all cases, QRcode.me is the cheapest option, because of its lower pricing and one-time payment structure. TQRG is also relatively cheap, especially for short-term use. If you need 500 or 1000 QR-codes, platforms like meQR or QR.io could also be worth exploring.
