QR Code-generator.com

Bit.ly codes are free. This service just hijacks the url codes by putting a redirect on them and attaches some analytics on top. They advertise a free dynamic code and 5 static codes, but the plan is misleading and you end up getting suckered into having to purchase a plan when 14 days later, your ad is running, and it suddenly shuts down all inbound traffic. Customer service is horrible they don't respond. There is no phone number, just a bot. It's obvious this service is just fishing unsaavy people who get suckered into a google adword search for Free Qr code.

This site is a complete joke. They baited and switched me after I had physical collateral printed up with the QR code the provided. I just found out from one of my employees that the campaign was deactivated; logged in only to find out that it was deactivated due to the trial ending. Thought I would do the $10 for a month till I could get something else, but they only market with the monthly price and then require you to pay for an entire year! Basically held my collateral hostage by making my CTA useless unless I paid!

I'm considering actually talking to a law firm over this one. This is supposed to be operated by a reputable company: Bitly. I've done business with them for the better part of a decade, thought I would use the for something since they ran it, but this is just something else entirely; this is a scam. Bitly should be ashamed to be a part of such an operation. I will be canceling my account with them and transitioning over to another short URL management service.

This company advertises a free product, but then after 14 days pulls the plug on your QR codes if you don't pay a YEARLY fee for said codes. I already added these QR codes to print marketing campaigns so I am SOL and VERY disappointed by the misleading and frankly unethical messaging.

May have purchased the product anyway, as it's a solid product, but do not like being led astray to then take my money. Not cool.

Made me lost 72 bucks NEVER USE THIS its only for 14 days, and if you are going to pay you need to pay per year they dont have a monthly option. I'm not in USA but if I was I would be suing this company.

The basically create a free QR code as you see, then you create account and they change the URL to a url that redirects through their website. After 14 days they reveal that the QR code you downloaded is not working because it is a redirect that looked like it was to your site and they charge you for something that is totally free.

It is one of the most clever scams I have seen and I can understand that bitly bought them. They should burn in hell.

If only the website TOLD you the codes aren't really free it would have saved me so much trouble. I printed 200 business cards and posters, only to find out 2 weeks later the codes expires unless I pay £96! ABSOLUTE SCAM. So angry

Everybody is upset about the same thing with this company. Here is the solution but please let's do this to help each other out. Please copy and paste this whole write up to the bottom of your review so everyone can benefit!

Problem: You sign up for the free trial to make your QR code knowing that in 14-days you will no longer be able to edit it but you think that of course the QR code will still work. Surprise! The code no longer works and they are now forcing you to pay a lot of money for 1 QR code.

Solution: You can change your dynamic paid account for a static free account which will make that QR code you made work once again without paying any money! With the free account you get 1 dynamic QR code and 5 static (not editable) QR codes. It's a little hidden... Just go to the features and pricing page here: https://my.qr-code-generator.com/features-and-pricing and scroll down to the bottom where it says, "Do you offer individual plans?" Then simple click on "Activate Free Plan" Boom that's it! Your QR code is working again! Please copy and paste this along with the photo so that everyone can benefit!

I am a freelance web designer and I redesigned my business cards. I laid out my design with a QR code and hence I found this company.
I was okay with doing the free trial and then paying for the service. Not an issue for me.

However, I printed all my business cards and when I received them I scanned the QR code just to have it redirect me to an out of service page.

I thought okay no worries my free trial might be up. So I went to pay for my account and this is when I realized how awful this company is. I had the form properly filled out and it kept sending me this message (also see screenshot) "oops! Your card was declined due to unknown reasons. Please try a different card, use another form of payment, or contact your card issuer." What am I supposed to do with that?
Please keep in mind I checked my account and I had all my funds there so paying for this was not a problem. I also just issued this card 2 WEEKS AGO so it is brand new and I have had no other issues with it from any of my other vendors...except this one.

Not only is the form a piece of junk but it charged me $1.07 every time I tried to submit the form. I did not realize this until I looked at my bank app and saw all these random charges they were charging me.

QR Code-generator.com's idea of support is a bot that sends you vague and crappy automated emails.

In conclusion, I now have my new business cards with a QR code on them that does not work because this company does not work. I HIGHLY recommend using another service.

Why even allow someone to create AND copy the QR without a popup notice saying you need to subscribe! What a SCAM! I ordered 100 calendar magnets and was frantic on the phone with my vendors customer service because of art design issues. I originally created my QR with my PAID subscription to Canva and I thought maybe it was something to do with the QR code, so I Googled quickly to create another QR code and email them the new design while on the phone. It should've been a clue when the newly created code was a random shortened url instead of my personal url. Needless to say, I received an email 3 days after receiving my magnet order that the QR had expired. I REFUSE to give this company my money so I reordered the magnets with my improved "original" design with my Canva created QR code. It was still cheaper than paying these jerks $120, by $30! Including expedited shipping!

Used the site to create a qr code for an emergency health service. Unfortunately it stopped working after 2 weeks, which put many people seeking health services at great risk.

BUYER BEWARE: DON'T USE THIS SERVICE for free QR code generation.

Generating a QR Code is not rocket science, but unlike me - pay attention to your google search result and read the fine print. THIS SERVICE will hold their generated QR Corde for ransom after a few days so that you (or your client) need to pay an annual fee to use the non-proprietary QR Code graphic - Of course, you're paying for user metrics/tracking services that are completely unnecessary tech-fluff for most commercial and non-commercial uses.

I emailed 2 days ago about purchasing an upgrade and it being allocated to the wrong account (even though everything on the receipt showed the right information for the right account, and the receipt itself was sent to the email address associated with the correct account). Because I didn't receive a response but my company needs the QR codes to be activated I paid again yesterday in hopes that we could get the codes working again and we could address the allocation issue when I received a response from this company later however I have now purchased 2 packages and although I have receipts for both, and one of them even show up on the right account but neither of them have allowed me to reactivate my codes. I can see them under billing. The payments have been processed. My money is gone but no service has been provided and no responses have been sent. I have emailed every day for the past three days and reached out via Facebook messenger. I have received 6 automated emails from the company suggesting I upgrade my account so I know I'm getting their emails, the issue is that I already have and the company hasn't provided the service promised. I've attached both confirmation emails that show the attached receipt for each purchase. I've also attached both receipts (but I've removed the name & address of my company for security purposes).
