QR Code-generator.com

The QR codes work well however the "free" part is pretty misleading. After over an hour searching I've found out how to get the free plan. Make sure the qr codes you make are as plain as possible during the free trial so they are definitely available on the free plan.

Follow this link - https://help.qr-code-generator.com/en/articles/*******-how-can-i-activate-the-free-plan

Then Click "here"

The next page didn't load for me at first but I kept trying (out of our stubbornness). The next day the link worked fine, just log in and there should be an option to activate the free plan at the bottom of the page (under the heading "do you offer individual plans").

You'll then get a pop up, click "activate free plan" and BOOM

The website makes it as difficult as physically possible to find all this but I felt the need to post it here because it's really misleading and unfair to consumers. Hope this saves someone a few pounds :)

Like many others have said, you're under the impression that it's a free trial. You're not notified that the link will stop working after 2 weeks and are forced to pay to reactivate the code. I've tried to cancel the subscription many times, but am still being charged yearly. Customer service is nonexistent.

The advertise that your QR code is free. And then, a week into it, they email you and tell you your QR code will expire if you don't sign up for service (after you've most likely already made all your posters and promo materials!). To make it worse, they advertise a $9.99/mo service to keep your QR code live... gr, but fine. But then they actually charged me $120 because they charge an entire year at a time! There is no way to contact customer service because it's based in Germany. I sent them an email to cancel the charge made moments ago, but haven't heard back. I will dispute the charge with my credit card company if necessary.

Just like many other users, I created a free code online for my business cards. Come to find out, that they own the link and I am prompted to pay now over 118 dollars to use my link, I find this unethical and misleading. I would suggest finding another code elsewhere and avoiding this site at all costs

Edit: Another review explained a way to activate the free plan hidden deep in the help center, this solved part of my issue but my original review stands- very misleading and bad business practices. Get your code elsewhere

I used this service to produce a QR code, and after 2 weeks (when already printed it on cards) they remember to let me know I have to pay them ($10/mo) or it will expire.
There's barely any mention of this (except a little box on the side that says "expires in 14 days") when you make the code. This is such a scam!

Early last week, I paid for a subscription to https://www.qr-code-generator.com/ with the read understanding that I could cancel within a few weeks, and get a refund. I did cancel my subscription the next day. Guess what? The only response I received was that my account disappeared - login would not work - saw that my account was invalid. Have waited over a week to my cancellation request, as well as requesting a refund. No response. Any suggestions how to get my money back from these.,..

This company has a real issue with false advertising. They advertise free QR codes on many platforms and then they will just deactivate the code to get you to pay. Don't make the same mistake I did. Save your time and your money. When you contact customer service about the misleading advertising they'll try and avoid refunding you. This company is absolute garbage.

I used this service to help design posters for school events. This made it very easy to include only the necessary information on a poster, and then get people to access a fuller site/fb event page after to see more details.

We were able to track stats and everything! Great service!

I was forced to upgrade my account when my code was disabled. There was no mention of the code being disabled and now, I have sent 3 emails with no response. I'm never getting my money back even though I cancelled literally 5 minutes after upgrading. This is a giant scam of a company and you should stay FAR AWAY from them. They do not care about customer service and are robbing people of money. QR code's can be found for free I wish I had never subscribed to this horrible website. I wish there was a ZERO STAR option.

Nice company when you sign up. Not so nice when you want to discontinue service. They automatically renew by policy. They send you a cryptically titled email ONE DAY before the automatic renewal process begins. If you miss this by two days, and you have not used the product for several months, you will NOT get a refund, even a refund minus whatever processing fees they might charge. No heart in this qr code generator company.

It's perfectly possible to make a QR code for no code to you or them. However, their business revolves around fake demand. What they'll do is sell you a "free QR code" with an artificially imposed limit on scans and ask you to pay for any further usage of it.

This company is an absolute fraud. I signed up for a year plan and was notified ONE day before the plan expired that I had to renew. When I explained that I didn't want the service any more they demanded the money because I allegedly failed to cancel 30 days prior to contract renewal. Now I get threatening letters for debt collection.

And I have to wire them the money and cannot pay by credit card. No way. This is fraudulent to the core.

I reported them to the FBI for international wire fraud.

I created a single QR code for personal use, and proceeded to print it on a huge number of business cards.
I was on a 14-day-long free trial. Anyway, even before the end of these 14 days, my QR code got blocked and the website asked for money to reactivate it. I subscribed to the cheapest plan, which is 8 euros per month, but they charged an entire year of money instead! I can't believe I'm paying 96 euros for a single QR code. This is absolutely ridiculous and you should avoid this website at all costs.

I had used QR Code-generator in the past and recently created a QR code to be printed in a charity gala program. After the program was printed I visited the QR code to check to see it was still working to find that it led to an error page. When I logged into my account it said my code had expired because my 14-day trial had ended. At no point during setting up the code did it say it was a trial. Then I looked to see if I could reactivate it by paying only to find out it would cost $120 since they don't offer a monthly plan. Now our gala programs will have broken QR codes in them because as a small charity we can't afford to pay $120 for a single code to be used for one night. Absolute garbage company for the bait and switch.
