HonestQR vs QR Tiger
We build a competing product, so read this knowing that. Every number below was measured on QR Tiger's own public pages on August 7, 2026. Where QR Tiger is stronger, we say so.
The headline difference: the 500-scan cap
QR Tiger's free plan includes 3 dynamic QR codes — but each one stops working after 500 scans (its /payment page lists the cap on the Free column). If you printed that code on a menu or flyer, the printed code is dead until you upgrade. On HonestQR, scans are unlimited on every plan, including free — a printed code never stops because it was scanned "too much".
Side-by-side
| HonestQR | QR Tiger | |
|---|---|---|
| Free dynamic codes | 3, with unlimited scans | 3, each capped at 500 scans |
| Paid plan | $29/year flat, unlimited codes & scans | Advanced US$16/mo billed annually (≈$192/yr); Premium US$37/mo |
| Bulk generation | Free static bulk (CSV → ZIP, client-side) | Paid-tier feature |
| GS1 Digital Link | Free tool (GTIN validation, batch/serial/expiry) | Paid-tier feature |
| If you cancel | Dynamic codes keep redirecting — written promise | Free codes stop past the scan cap; no equivalent published promise |
| Static codes | Free, unlimited, generated in your browser — no account | Free static generator available |
Where QR Tiger is stronger
- Code-type breadth: 25+ types including Google Form, Google Review, Menu, App-store and Smart URL (time/location/language/device routing).
- Native apps: iOS/Android apps for creating and scanning; HonestQR is web-only (responsive).
- Content marketing: a large industry-report and solutions content library, and "trusted by 850,000 brands" social proof built since 2018.
Who should pick which
If you need Smart URL routing or a native app, QR Tiger is a mature choice — just budget ~$192/year and watch the free tier's scan cap before you print. If you want dynamic codes that never die at a scan threshold, at a flat $29/year, or genuinely free static codes with free bulk and free GS1, that's what we built HonestQR for.
