QR Code-generator.com

6 years ago I used this service, it did not work so well and I no longer had a need, I cancelled. They still send me advertising to this day to my email and they have no take me off your list button or anything else like that I have wasted so much time looking for such a thing. Obviously they are making it hard. Sure I can delete the email, then they will keep sending me more till the end of time. They don't seem to have any customer service, or any means to get a hold of a real person to ask them how to do this. Todays AI sucks in the hands of people and co. Like this.
There are now tons of this type of business, I'm sure some are better.

This is less about generating qr codes and more about generating large amounts of money through disingenuous marketing.

I had what I thought was a free account, except that it wasn't. It defaults to a paid account by deceptive means, and then when you refuse to pay you get demands with menaces. If you don't live in Germany you have to pay by international bank transfer, which whacks another £15 onto the bill.

This is a SCAM designed to relieve you of your hard-earned money. It's 2020, everyone is struggling except of course operators with the moral compass of a con merchant.

Avoid at all costs. Especially the need to have to pay £72 + £15 international transfer fee I've had to pay.

They want $60/year for a single image. It's free elsewhere. The fact that they give it for free and then take it away is such bad business practice. There's no notification this will happen either. I hate this company

Contacted them a year ago, haven't heard from them and had to pay the yearly subscription to use a free-tiered feature because there was no way to contact them to solve my problem. STAY AWAY.
Of course I still got the email for the automatic renewal, good luck with that.

After not using their qr-code even once that I was tricked into paying for in the first place, they decide to auto renew my code for another year!
This is a trap, they make a code that you can make free already and since they let you use it for a month, you don't know that you have to subscribe, and you end up paying hundreds of $$$ for a code that you can get free already... Now after they auto renewed me, I went to unsub and even though it's only a couple hours old, if I were to cancel today, it would invalidate my new 1-year subscription! The renew email is not even 2 hours old!
SCAM!
SCAM!

Do not use this service, it's absolutely terrible, and should be shut down for immoral business practices. If you pay for a year, you damn better know when your 1 year subscription ends, because you'll automatically be enrolled for ANOTHER year, and they won't let you quit until you pay them, it's basically extortion. F this company, they suck.

It seems that this company has a rather bad reputation for enforcing their auto renewal even when you inform them promptly less than 30 days from their invoice.
They also say in their defence that "We also send a reminder email 30 days before the next renewal date of your plan,..." NO THEY DON'T. The first time you find out is when your card has been debited... or in my case when the request for payment failed due to an expired card.
The tool was not used in the last 12 months so why would I allow an auto renewal?... despite explaining this I just received Very terse responses to my emails.
It seems that others have had a similar experience with QR Code-generator.com... KEEP WELL CLEAR

I just want to help people not make the same mistake I made!

They automatically bill you for an entire year. THEY DO NOT CHARGE BY THE MONTH - even though they provide a monthly rate for each of their 3 plans. Yes, I should have read the fine print but, this is something that should not have to be in fine print or hidden behind the facade of "billed annually." It almost doesn't seem legal to be so blatantly misleading but, I don't know enough about any of that to know for sure.

This is a real disappointment, honestly, because I really like the service they offer! It was super easy to use and there are lots of customization options. But, I needed to create one code for a birthday party invitation, and it ended up costing as much the venue I rented for the party. All because I thought, "Oh, $16 a month! And I only need it for two months - that's not bad!"

And they want money for you to keep using them! A complete scam if you ask me.
Keep searching for other sites that offer Ransom Free QR generators. This will expired after 15 days unless you pay them.

I wanted to make a simple QR code that directs to a website. I didn't think this was a 'dynamic' QR code, as they have a great depth of services they offer. I signed up for the 2-week trial, printed the QR code on 500 business cards, and now have 490 useless, unprofessional business cards. Thanks for the waste of paper and money!

This is another business who offers thebmost simple qr code generator you can find free and its business model is set around you forgetting to cancel your subscription! Remember your yearly renewal! Theyve taken 100$ twice (200)off for a total of 23 scans in two years. It seems majority of others are experiencing similar falls to getting sucked into their product and not getting out *no support, billing, etc* BEWARE, get better judgement from other reviews saying the same thing and read the small text to understand hoe they're making their money. Their product works. It makes a qr code. Dont expect support or anything else but that. Hiring a profession designer for a qr code would be cheaper or getting one for free online.

Advertised as free - tricks the user into signing up for a "dynamic" code without stating that it will vaporize in 14 days unless $200 is paid as ransom. Additionally that will auto renew each year. Nothing about this company seems legit.

After signing up through my work email a year ago, using my personal card to move things along, then wrapping up with that employer, you can imagine my surprise as I saw the charge recently appear again on my card for the yearly subscription.

I had no warning since I don't have access to that work email. I haven't used the service in all this time because I cannot access the account. They're refusing to refund the charge.

They say they're sorry for the confusion, but I doubt that. They don't care about customer success if $70 is more valuable to them than an ongoing relationship and referrals.

If they made it right by refunding the amount, we would end on a high note and I'd remember them for future QR code needs. Instead we're here and I'm having to warn other people about their scammy tactics.

1. Pricing is deceptive. They market a monthly plan, but you can only pay annually.
2. Customer service is a JOKE. I needed help with my account (for which I had to pay the annual amount). It took TWO WEEKS for an email response that did not solve my issue. By then it was too late for my code in use to be effective.
3. Description of different plans is not consistent across pages. One page told me the free plan included one dynamic QR code. I distributed it during the free trial, then after trial expiration, I was told dynamic codes are not included in the free plan. Too late for me to change. Had to pay the misleading annual fee.

Horrible, horrible, horrible.

Never trust a company that has no telephone number or email address. There so called FREE Static QR code suddenly stopped work with an error message. Turns out the code is NOT free but part of a 14 day trial. Something NOT mentioned in their actual webpage https://www.qr-code-generator.com/.
And with absolutely no way of contacting them, I was left with no other choice but to throw away all my business cards, pamphlets and other company stationaries and redo them another company.
I hope everyone avoids this company!

I didnt know i was even using a free trial - I then had to sign up so I chose the option that said £8 annually, and was immediately charged £100 from my account. The only option to get this refunded was to use a useless chat bot and nothing has happened. This should be illegal - don't use these scammers please!

We have the same experience as most of the other users. The image generated under what we understood to be a free plan stopped working after two weeks, but giving enough confidence to include it on business cards and and other marketing material. Does not matter whether the company gives the same reply to everyone, if everyone has the same experience of deception then surely there must be value in it. We were fortunate the we came across this page because of their poor accessability to support before committing to anything. Will be researching further. Thanks for the reviews.
