QR Code-generator.com

Scamming company that force you after generating "free" QR Codes without warning to pay for their service. Cheaper to reprint my leaflets than pay their stupid costs so thanks for wasting my money.

For not telling my UPFRONT that it was a trail!
Now I have QR Code on Business Cards being delivered TOMORROW and I am now told 10$ a month?
WTF?
NEVER USE THIS SERVICE
EXTORTION in the least.
OMG!
SHARPIE is a thing and will be used on my NEW CARDS!
How EMBARASSING!
FU!
So pissed!

I didn't even know we were using their QR code, in fact, an employee seemed to have ordered it for some project last year. This employee hasn't been with us for 10 months. I had no idea we were using this. I also did not get a single email from this QR code company that we had a subscription that would auto-renew. Which IMHO is shady in itself. Most every subscription we have with a third party notifies us ahead of that our card will be charged on XX date.

Anyway, when I saw the charge, I immediately notified them. I should have disputed it with my bank when it was in "process mode", but regrettably I did not. And this QR compay of course conveniently waited 2 days to get back to me (so the process would be complete) before they told me there is no chance they will refund, no matter if I knew of this service or not.

It's simply their policy.

Disappointing as I just spent like $190 on a service I haven't even used, and they know that to be true. But hey, we reap what we sow.

Do a google search for QR code generator, go with a competitor. I haven't used this companies tool to know if it's good, but I can tell you their ethics aren't. And if that is true, you can just imagine how they may be.

When you make a qr code. There is literally nothing that says it's not free.
I made thousands flyers with this "LOOKS LIKE FREE" QR code. And 14 days after,
The QR Code works no more. YOU HAVE TO PAY 120$ to revive this $#*!TY QR code.
And 120$ is the lowest plan they provide. I JUST CANNOT BELIEVE I did this.
My flyers are now USELESS.
Furthermore, If customer scan the USELESS QR, it makes me and my store looks stupid cause
They tnink I cannot make simple QR CODE right.

NEVER USE THIS WEBSITE. THEY ARE BASICALLY SCAMMER.
THEY LURE YOU WITH "LOOKS LIKE FREE" QR CODE. And then
They make your(not yours actually) QR CODE hostage and asking you for ridiculous amount of money.

Would rather give "0" if possible.
When users register it says for free. But after 14 days they send you an email saying unlock the QR code to further use by paying them. YThen they saying they have two methods of QR codes and one is free. But users can not find the free method at all.

They will disable your QR code in 14 days and ask you to pay for activating the code again

I've done the QR code with them, then I've spent a lot of money on marketing with that QR code. (Adverts / Flyers / Banners and many more). In a few days, they disabled my QR code and asked me to pay for continuing their service. It's really no matter about the money. But the way they pretend to be is a scam. On their website, users can not see any free plan options. When users complain then I heard they send you a link to activate whatever so-called free plan they have. But they do not have that direct link on their website.

It's worth to try some other QR code generator website as of there are 100s of companies out there who provide free service which users can use without paying a penny.

At the end of the 14 days period when the company asks the user to renew, users are in a desperate situation. Because like me if somebody did marketing and this and that then we do not have the choice rather than subscribe. This has to stop. I've already complained to this company and Trading Standards too.

Then you will have to pay them $10 a month. $10 is way too much a month for just one QR code. I ended up printing many copies with this QR code and now I am forced to pay for this

MAKE SURE THAT WHEN YOU MAKE A CODE HERE, THAT IT IS NOT DIRECTED TO THEIR SITE AND THEN REDIRECTED TO YOURS. After the 14 day trial, they control the link and if you ever decide to quit their service, the codes will cease to work.

Dishonest, Wrong, Deceitful, and bad business practice. We're reprinting our stickers that is going to cost us a good amount because of these mark shkreli thinking evil jerks. Sending negative and bad vibes being directed towards all the employees of this EvilCorp. They're part of what is wrong with the world.

MAKE SURE TO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY AND FIND A QR CODE GENERATOR THAT DOESN'T CREATE LINKS TO THEMSELVES AND THEN REDIRECT TO YOU. THIS PRACTICE CAN HOLD YOU HOSTAGE UNLESS YOU PAY THE MONTHLY RANSOM FEE.

THE OLD BAIT AND SWITCH - DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME -
They will lure you in with the free trial under the pretense that you will have the option to a free plan. I printed cards with the code and sent out to clients, now they will not allow me to have a free plan and use the code, even if i select the most basic QR code (which was what i wanted anyways). NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT AT ALL, you will be chatting with a bot for anything you need, customer sercvice phone number is not operable, you only have a chance to leave a voicemail (which never gets returns).

Advertise free QR codes and then email afew days later once you have used the code on advertising material and are tied in to using the code to then let you know that was just a free trial and they now want to charge you ALOT of money each month to maintain the code

If you think you will use this web, i recommend you to find another website.

1. I subscribe first July 10,2020 in stater pack (60 euro)
2. When my starter pack finish, i pay in Ags 28,2021 (I pay 98 Euro because i have a disc to upgrade from 150 Euro)
3. When i realize in Nov 16,2021 why is my package is still starter, i try to email customer service in email
4. She Said (Marta) that i need to pay again 60 Euro because the price is 150 Euro
5. I insist said that i have a disc from 150 Euro and become 98 Euro ( I Have the invoice)
6. They still said i must paid the 60 Euro (?)
7. I give them solution, just give the advance package or i just continue my starter pack with refund
8. BANG! They disabled my account with email that i must pay 60 euro more

This company is a SCAM! They already told you you have a disc from 150 to 98. Of course i cant input my own payment (this is their system). If i should pay 150 why there is a bill for 98 Euro?

And what is their right to disable my account like i never pay?

Please avoid using qr-code-generator, especially on their free trial.

I used it for my client on their free trial, I simply entered the URL address and got a QR code image to use, so we printed it on 23,000 leaflets, then 14-days later I received warning emails that the code would no longer work unless we paid them money! The leaflets hadn't even been distributed to their audience to evaluate if they would use the scan option or not!

I contacted QR-Code-generator immediately stressed and confused, to say that the trial is 'free and no obligation' to be informed they automatically set it to a 'Dynamic' type QR code 'as it is the most popular' and Dynamic codes are not free after 14-days.

I had no idea about this and there were no pop-up warnings etc on their site.

I am a designer, I told QR-Code-generator my client was furious that they now had 23,000 leaflets with a scan code that no longer worked and they (and I felt) conned. I asked if they could make it a Static free code and was told 'no' we need to pay, frankly the emails came across as blackmail.

The QR-Code-generator website doesn't thoroughly clearly warn you about the different code types (or charges) and the automatic Dynamic setting means the codes are not for free or without obligation, making their website totally misleading.

Their customer care is also appalling.

Don't make the mistake I did avoid this company at all cost!

There are two different kinds of QR to generate, dynamic and static. Static is free, dynamic is not. It is not clear when you enter the website that if you create a dynamic QR code, you will lose access to this QR code unless you pay a subscription. I received a notification about receiving a scan on my code and clicked the link to check out the website and come to find that my QR code will be expiring in 10 days.

I was confused as to how I had made this mistake, and panicking because we have printed this QR code on signage, so I tried to create another one to see where I messed up.

When creating a QR code you are taken to a landing page where you can select what you want the QR code for (website, social media, etc) UNDERNEATH this list, in faint, tiny writing, it says static codes and there is a little plus button you hit to bring up the dropdown menu for static QR codes. It is purposefully hidden this way so you will miss it and select a dynamic code instead. Nowhere on this page does it explain the difference between a dynamic and static code and that you will eventually have to pay for one over the other.

This website and process is incredibly unclear and misleading. There is nowhere on the website to even contact anybody with a complaint. This appears to be a legitimate business but feels incredibly scammy with the way they basically trap you into using the dynamic codes.

TLDR; Scammy company - no monthly payment option - it isn't clear that you're using codes that will become inactive unless you pay

These guys went through a lot of effort to hide the fact that you're using a dynamic code. I didn't realize it, and we ordered prints of some table tents, but now we either pay $120/yr or re-order our table tents, which is what I'm going to do. It was only $28 for the table tents, so WAY cheaper than signing up for dynamic codes with QR Code Generator.

Before you print anything with their QR codes, look at the code with your phone's camera. Before clicking the link, look at the link text on your phone screen. If it shows any except the URL of your web page, it's a dynamic code, and unless you sign up for a paid plan, it will become an inactive link when your QR Code Generator trial expires.

I have zero problems with platforms charging for their services, but it should be WAY more clear that you're using a code that will become inactive if you don't sign up for a paid plan.

Also, who in 2022 doesn't offer a monthly plan? Seriously?! You only get an option to pay yearly (starting at $120/yr). It's absurd and scammy.
