Frequently asked questions
Do HonestQR codes ever expire?＋
Static QR codes never expire. Your data is encoded directly into the pattern in your browser — there is no server between the scanner and your content, so nothing can ever switch it off. Dynamic codes keep redirecting even if you cancel your plan.
How many times can my QR code be scanned?＋
There is no scan limit — ever, on any plan, including free. Some competitors cap free dynamic codes at a few hundred scans; we never meter scans.
Can I use the QR codes commercially?＋
Yes. Every code you generate is yours to use commercially — on menus, packaging, posters, business cards — with no watermark, no attribution and no license fee.
What's the difference between static and dynamic QR codes?＋
A static code encodes your content directly, so it works forever but cannot be changed after printing. A dynamic code points to a short link you can edit anytime — even after printing — and it collects scan analytics. You get 3 dynamic codes free.
How do I track who scans my QR code?＋
Create a dynamic code with a free account: you get scan counts, unique visitors, countries, devices and CSV export. Static codes are generated 100% in your browser and are never tracked — by design.
Burned by a "free" QR generator before?
You're not alone. The biggest player in this market has a 1.4/5 rating on Trustpilot from 9,000+ reviews, largely because codes people printed on menus, packaging and signs suddenly stopped working unless they paid up. We built HonestQR specifically so that can never happen to you.
