Transparent QR Code Pricing.
$35 Once. No Surprises.
Most QR code tools bury their real cost in subscription tiers and add-on fees. Here's exactly what QR Code Pro costs: $35. One time. No recurring charges, no per-code fees, no expiring access.
Buy on Gumroad - $35QR Code Pro Generator costs $35 as a one-time payment: no subscription, no monthly fee, and no per-code or per-scan charges. A no-subscription QR code generator is one you buy once and own forever, rather than renting access through a recurring plan. The $35 includes every feature: all 10+ QR code types, logo embedding, custom colors, bulk CSV generation, and SVG + PNG export, with unlimited QR codes and full commercial use. By comparison, subscription tools charge $84–$600 per year: QR Tiger starts at $84/year and Beaconstac at $180/year. Because QR Code Pro creates static QR codes that run entirely in your browser, your codes never expire and there is no server to pay for.
What Others Charge
Subscription QR tools cost hundreds of dollars per year. You're paying for their servers, not your QR codes.

What's Included for $35
Everything. Not a starter tier. Not a limited plan. The full tool, permanently.
All 10+ QR Code Types
URL, WiFi, vCard, email, SMS, phone, location, event, plain text, and more. No type gated behind a higher plan.
Logo Embedding
Upload your logo and embed it at the center of any QR code. Custom colors included. Works on every code type.
Bulk CSV Generation
Upload a CSV with hundreds of rows and export a QR code for each one. No per-code charge, no row limit.
SVG + PNG Export
Export in print-ready SVG (infinitely scalable) or PNG at any resolution. Both formats included at no extra cost.
Offline Mode
After first load, QR Code Pro works entirely offline. No internet needed. No data sent to any server.
Commercial Use
Use generated QR codes for client projects, paid marketing, product packaging. Full commercial rights included.
Hidden Costs Other Tools Don't Mention
Subscription pricing hides a lot of pain. Here's what you're actually signing up for.
Upgrade Tiers
Most tools advertise a cheap entry price but lock logo support, bulk generation, and SVG export behind a mid or enterprise tier. By the time you have the features you need, you're paying $30–$50/month.
Per-Code Fees
Some platforms charge per active QR code or per scan after a monthly cap. If you have 200 codes in the field and hit your scan limit, your codes either stop working or you pay an overage fee.
Scan Limits
Free and low-tier plans cap scans per month, typically 500 to 2,000. A single successful marketing campaign can burn through that in days, forcing an urgent (and expensive) mid-cycle upgrade.
Codes That Expire When You Cancel
Dynamic QR codes from subscription tools are actually redirects through their servers. Cancel the subscription and every printed code (on packaging, signage, business cards) stops working immediately.
How Much Does a QR Code Generator Cost?
The real cost depends on whether you're paying once or forever.
QR code generator prices in 2026
Most QR code generators charge $7 to $50 per month, which adds up to $84 to $600 per year. The cheapest QR code subscription (QR Tiger's basic plan) still costs $84/year. Beaconstac starts at $180/year. Even "free" tools cap scans, add watermarks, or expire your codes to push you into a paid plan. QR Code Pro Generator costs $35 one time with no subscription and no recurring fees.
Custom QR code pricing vs. plain QR codes
Plain QR codes (black and white, no logo) are often free but limited. Custom QR codes with your logo, brand colors, and high-resolution export are almost always locked behind a paid tier. With subscription tools, custom QR code pricing can run $20 to $50/month. QR Code Pro includes full customization (logo embedding, custom colors, SVG + PNG export) in the one-time $35 price.
The cheapest QR code generator that actually works
If you need more than what free QR code generators offer (no watermarks, bulk generation, logo support, commercial use), the cheapest long-term option is a one-time purchase tool. At $35 total, QR Code Pro is cheaper than even 3 months of most subscription plans. Your codes never expire and there are no per-code or per-scan fees.
Static vs Dynamic QR Codes: Which Do You Need?
Some tools advertise cheaper "dynamic" codes. Here's the honest difference, and where each one actually wins.
QR Code Pro makes static QR codes. A static QR code has its data encoded directly into the pattern, so it works offline, never expires, and keeps working forever whether or not you ever pay again, because there's no server in the loop. A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect that points at the vendor's server, which lets you edit the destination after printing and track scans, but only for as long as you keep paying. Cancel the subscription, or have the vendor shut down, and dynamic codes can stop working. Neither type is "better"; they solve different problems.
Static: QR Code Pro ($35 once)
- ✓ Buy once, own it forever
- ✓ Works offline: no server, no subscription
- ✓ Never expires, keeps working if you stop paying
- ✓ Private: nothing routed through a vendor
- ✗ Destination can't be edited after printing
- ✗ No built-in scan analytics
Dynamic: subscription tools
- ✓ Edit the destination URL after printing
- ✓ Built-in scan tracking and analytics
- ✗ Ongoing monthly or yearly fee
- ✗ Codes depend on the vendor's servers
- ✗ Can break if you cancel or the vendor shuts down
- ✗ Scans routed through a third party
Which should you pick? Choose static (QR Code Pro) for print-and-forget uses where the destination won't change: business cards, packaging, signage, WiFi, restaurant menus, product labels. Buy it once, own it, done. Choose a dynamic tool if you genuinely need to change the URL after printing or measure scans, and you're comfortable paying for it on an ongoing basis. If in doubt, most printed QR codes never need editing, which is exactly what static is built for.
Pricing Questions
Is the $35 price really one-time, forever?
Yes. $35 once. No annual renewal, no subscription tier, no expiring license key. You buy it once and own it. The tool runs in your browser locally; there's no server we can flip off if you stop paying.
Are software updates included in the $35?
Yes. Updates to the current version of QR Code Pro are included at no charge. If a major paid version is ever released in the future, existing buyers won't be charged retroactively; your purchase is permanent.
Do I need to pay VAT or sales tax on top of $35?
Gumroad, our payment processor, handles tax collection automatically based on your location. Buyers in some regions (EU, UK, Australia) may see VAT or GST added at checkout. The base price is $35 USD.
Is there a refund policy?
Yes. If QR Code Pro doesn't work for your use case, contact us within 30 days for a full refund. We'd rather give you your money back than have an unhappy customer.
Does $35 include commercial use?
Yes. The $35 purchase includes full commercial rights: use the generated QR codes for client work, paid marketing campaigns, product packaging, and printed materials. No separate commercial license is required.
Why is it so much cheaper than Beaconstac or QR Tiger?
Subscription tools charge monthly because their codes live on their servers; if you stop paying, the codes break. QR Code Pro generates static QR codes that run entirely in your browser. There's no server cost per scan, no infrastructure to maintain, so there's nothing to charge you monthly for.
$35. One Time. Everything Included.
All QR types, logo, bulk CSV, SVG + PNG, offline, commercial use. No subscription. No hidden costs. Yours forever.
