QR Code-generator.com

Stay away. There are other free options available. Be aware that they display prices for monthly plans but charge you for the entire year up front. You are unable to get a refund if you are dissatisfied with their services. I wish I had read the reviews on this site prior to providing my credit card information. Save yourself the headache. Don't keep this company in business.

Given the number of free tools out there that perform the same function that Bitly wants you to pay for, it's no wonder they have to resort to intentionally deceptive tactics to scam money from the unsuspecting. While billed as a "QR code generator" in fact it generates a middle-man link that they control and then hold hostage, demanding payment--annual payment specifically--in order to enable the code to work. I can't imagine this makes them all that much money, but it certainly makes money for the printing shops who get to reprint all the materials created with these scammers' QR codes.

No idea this wasn't free, and like many others who used this service didn't realise until the flyers were printed and the codes stopped working. Have had to sign up because our charity spent $200 on flyers but this is a terrible customer experience. Now I have to pay this out of my own pocket. Will never use again

I just want to help reach and warn other people about how deceitful and unscrupulous this company is. I agree with all the bad reviews here. There is no reminder you are coming up on your auto renewal and when you ask for your money back they more or less just tell you tuff $#*!. Now I will throw away all my brochures with QR codes and start over to make sure I break all ties with these thieves. I think we should all email them everyday to ensure our auto renew is turned off.

Qr-code-generator.com is the worst, you're limited to only a few scans before you have to pay, and when I did they said it would be $60 but instead charged over $75, adding small <$2 charges later with no explanation and their customer service is the worst. Basically told me they have my money now and aren't giving it back even though they're clearly overcharging. Now I'm trying to work with my bank to fix it but it's a huge pain. Use literally anyone else.

Seriously do yourself and your customers a favour and use ANY other generator. Google makes a free one.

I had 500 business cards printed with a QR code created using this "service". The codes are useless now. They intentionally mislead you into believing you've made a useable code, and then 2 weeks later tell your "oh that was a free trial version. Give us an unethical amount of money to reactivate it". There was no indication of any subscription or trial version when I created the code, and the so called "free" codes are hidden away in a different part of the site. This is a company that seeks to intentionally mislead people for the sake of hoping they can hold you hostage the way they're holding me hostage.

So now I have to go have 500 stickers made to cover up this completely wasted endeavour. I'm going to send this to my legal team and see about suing them into oblivion over this.

Everything about this site makes you feel like the QR codes you create on it will still work after the trial period, you just won't be able to look at the statistics from your QR code, but it will work and you can sign up any time after that if you are happy with their product. Sadly, they lead you into using a dynamic QR code which stops working after your 14 day trial. If you've printed up sticker, flyers or anything of that nature and have them out in the world you're screwed unless you pay their ransom of a year subscription.

I was just pressured into paying for a yearly subscription for two QR codes which I believed were free. They had been printed on collateral and therefore too difficult to change. They need to make it clear when signing up that it is a free trial and after expiry there will be a charge to maintain the codes. Stay away from this crowd. Do not recommend.

Signed up because it was a free account. I ordered 100 invitations and now have to pay $160 CDN to use 1 QR code. Never reported a website, but this is a bad one.

This company takes no aim in helping its customers. I used their service for a year with no issues, but I've never seen such a money hungry company that has strict rules on cancellation periods for such a simple service that isn't hard to come by. You are better off getting QR codes elsewhere.

Other services with subscriptions don't fight you on the same day cancellation and refund unless their services are something you can't take back. QR codes are not that big a deal, seems crazy how fast you turn off QR codes when a free trial ends, but when a paying customer asks for some support. Nope.

They want you to sign up for a 14 day "free trial"... and once the trial is over they essentially lock your QR codes—you will no longer be able to scan them. In order to "re-activate" them, they want you to pay for a plan... which is "only $9.99/mo" however, it's billed annually and there are "no ways for the system to do anything less than that." (direct quote from their customer service). Absolutely bogus business.

I made a QR code for my wedding invitations on this site. Suprise -- you can't save your work without an account, which means you just signed up for a free trial. And the big surprise comes when your QR code stops working in 13 days. After the wedding invites are printed. Go with a different site that won't screw you. I was able to revive my QR code, but it costs $120. Which is a complete rip off. STAY AWAY.

We purchased the yearly plan, paid almost $200, and created a custom url (for example, qr.xyz.com) which was part of the package. Really nice tools to make good-looking QR codes. So why the 1 star?

Many months into our yearly subscription, our custom URL just stops working. So ALL our QR codes just up and quit on us. Of course we'd already printed them on cards, posters, and a newspaper ad. Of course no support email or phone whatsoever on their site. I opened a ticket after battling their terrible AI "assistant", and was told the only way to fix this was to upgrade. Ok, so it worked for MONTHS, and suddenly, it doesn't, and the only way to fix it is to give this shady company more money? Unbelievable.

The funny thing is? It all worked before. I thought it was pretty good. I would have paid them more money when the subscription came up again.

Think about it: if this is how they treat a paying customer, how are they going to treat you? They are basically shakedown artists. They're just begging for a class-action lawsuit.

Save yourself and don't go anywhere near this vampiric company.

Should have read the reviews. I made 100 wedding invitations ready to be sent out in 2 months. Found out later that all of my QR codes is no good. Literally is telling me to pay over $120 to keep my codes. This is no different than random. Freaking crooks! There's like a lot of alternative free sites.

I rather re-purchase $40 worth of stuff and re-do all of my invitation than giving you a single cent.

Just like everyone else, I had materials printed for work just to find out I had to pay. So I paid, $5 a month who cares. Then my bank calls me, did I make a $66 payment in Germany? Turns out these SCAMMERS don't offer a $5 a month option as they advertise. They charge you an entire year up front. Scam. Scam. Scam. Scam. I will not be allowing the charge to go through. I'd rather cancel my card than give them the money. Can't believe they're allowed to be so high up in the google search engine. FRAUD.
