An alternative to QR Code Generator PRO

QR Code Generator PRO caps dynamic codes at 2, 50 or 250 and bills the middle tiers annually. Autonix bills monthly, gives you unlimited codes on Professional, and rolls them up by tag so 50 codes read like one report.

Who this is for: Small and mid-size businesses who started on the first result for "QR code generator" and have now outgrown the code cap or the annual contract.

No app required · 3 trackers free · Professional $99/mo or $999/yr

What Autonix does differently

Unlimited codes on one price

Professional is $99 a month for unlimited QR codes and short links with unlimited scans. No per-month code quota, no scan cap on analytics.

Portfolio analytics, not per-code stats

Tag every code by region, department, campaign or SKU and roll them up. Compare 40 store codes against each other instead of opening 40 reports.

A record of what happened, not just a click

Put a form, a GPS check-in, or a proof photo behind any code. Autonix stores the visit, not only the redirect.

Your data, out the door

CSV export, a REST API, Zapier, and a hosted MCP server so an assistant can pull the scan history for you.

Where QR Code Generator PRO wins

  • Ranks first for "QR code generator" and is the tool many people have already used once.
  • Many QR content types (PDF, menu, app store, coupon) with hosted templates.
  • A low entry price for someone who needs exactly two dynamic codes.

Where it falls short

  • Dynamic codes are capped hard per tier (2, 50, 250) and the middle tiers are annual-only.
  • Analytics are per code; there is no tag roll-up to compare regions, departments or campaigns across codes.
  • No GPS, forms, proof photos, API on the lower tiers, or agent access.

Pick QR Code Generator PRO when

  • You need two dynamic codes and nothing else, and the Starter price in your currency is the lowest you can find.
  • You want a specific hosted template (coupon, app store, menu) that Autonix does not offer.

Pick Autonix when

  • You are past 50 codes or do not want an annual contract for a mid tier.
  • You need the codes compared by store, region or campaign instead of one at a time.
  • You need a check-in, a form or a proof photo behind the scan.
