Switching to Permanent, One-Time Payment QR Codes?

Anyone who prints QR codes on things that need to last—menus, business cards, product packaging, signs, real estate materials, event badges. If you're tired of paying every month just to keep existing codes alive, or you've been burned by a 'free trial' that expired after you printed hundreds of items, a one-time payment model is worth considering. If you only need a few temporary campaign codes and love your current dashboard, switching might not be a priority.

One permanent dynamic QR code: you pay $29 once and it stays active forever. You can change where it points anytime (edit the destination URL, swap a PDF, update a link) without reprinting. Unlimited scans, no overage fees, no renewal. You own the redirect; we host it for the life of the product. Static QR codes (fixed URL, not editable) remain free.

With most subscription services, when you cancel, the codes stop working—anyone scanning them gets an error or a 'subscription expired' page. You can't take the codes with you because the redirect lives on their servers. That's the main reason people switch: they want codes that don't die when they stop paying. Here, once you've paid, the code works regardless of whether you have an active 'plan'—there is no plan to cancel.

You can't import QR code images from another provider—the image is just a pattern that points to their redirect URL. What you can do: create new codes here, set each one to the same destination URL (or updated URL) you want, then reprint. For existing printed materials, you'd need to replace them with new codes. Many switchers do it gradually: new projects on Lifetime QR Codes, old ones left until they're phased out.

No. The $29 per dynamic code is the full price. No monthly or yearly fees, no scan limits, no charge for editing the destination, no 'premium' tier to unlock basic features. We don't charge for exports (PNG, SVG, PDF, EPS). The only ongoing decision is whether you want more codes—each new code is a separate one-time $29. We're upfront about our refund policy: we generally do not offer refunds because the asset is delivered immediately; we recommend trying one code first to be sure it fits your workflow.

If you need heavy analytics (demographics, heatmaps, multi-touch attribution), built-in A/B testing, or a full marketing suite tied to QR, some subscription platforms offer that. We focus on permanent, editable redirects and solid basic analytics (scan counts, device/location, timestamps)—not a full analytics dashboard. If your main need is 'this printed code must keep working and I want to change where it points,' one-time payment is a better fit. If you need advanced campaign analytics and don't mind paying monthly, a subscription product may still suit you.

Create a free account and buy one dynamic code ($29). Use it for a real project—print it, scan it, change the destination a few times. If you're happy, buy more. If you need many codes, we offer volume discounts. Static codes are free and do not require a paid code, so you can test the platform with those first if you like.

We offer bulk discounts (up to 35% off at higher volumes). Each code is still a one-time payment—no recurring bill. So 100 codes might be a single larger purchase once, not 100 monthly fees. Suits teams that deploy a lot of permanent assets: equipment tags, signage, packaging, real estate, events.

Yes. Our business model is one-time payment per code; we do not rely on you renewing to keep the redirect live. Once the code is paid for, it stays active. We are built for long-term hosting. If we ever had to wind down the service, we would give advance notice and provide export or migration options—we have stated that publicly.
