QR Tiger stamps a watermark on all free QR codes. ToolBit's QR codes are always clean - no branding, no watermark, fully usable in print or product packaging.
QR Tiger and QRCode Monkey offer no scan tracking on free plans. ToolBit tracks every scan and shows you total scans plus a device breakdown - for free.
QR Tiger requires a paid plan for custom colors. ToolBit lets you set any foreground and background hex color on the free plan.
Generate a short link, then turn it into a QR code. You get both in the same dashboard - and the short link tracks clicks separately from QR scans.
Yes. QR Tiger's free plan adds a "Powered by QR Tiger" watermark. To remove it you need a paid plan starting at $7/mo. ToolBit never adds a watermark.
Yes. ToolBit generates QR codes as PNG at 300px (adjustable in-app). SVG export is on the roadmap. QR Tiger's free plan limits resolution; paid plans unlock higher quality exports.
Scan tracking records every time someone scans your QR code and notes the device type. This lets you measure campaign performance - how many people scanned a flyer, business card, or product label.
Not directly. You can achieve dynamic QR behavior by pointing the QR code at a ToolBit short link, then updating the short link's destination without reprinting the QR code. Full dynamic QR with redirect tracking is on the roadmap.
Not yet. Logo overlay is planned for the Elite tier. QRCode Monkey supports this for free. If logo embedding is your primary need today, QRCode Monkey is a good choice - though it has no scan tracking.
Custom colors, no watermark, PNG download, scan analytics. No credit card needed.
