ScanMePlz vs QR TIGER
QR TIGER is budget-friendly volume: cheap entry, bulk generation, ISO-certified security. Here is how the two compare on the things that decide it — price, limits, and what happens to a printed code when billing goes wrong.

Choose QR TIGER if
• One of the lowest paid entry points in the category
• Bulk CSV creation reported at up to 3,000 codes at a time
• ISO certification, which matters for some procurement processes
• A large and long-established feature set
Choose ScanMePlz if
• You print codes onto things that are expensive to reprint, and you want a written
commitment that they keep resolving if your card fails or you downgrade.
• You do not want scan analytics to stop recording at a threshold.
• You want monthly billing and a price under $15 for a custom domain and API
access.
• You want to be able to export static fallbacks of every code, so the decision is
reversible without reprinting.
Reported to stop resolving codes when a subscription lapses
Third-party coverage reports that if a QR TIGER subscription lapses, dynamic codes tied to that account can stop resolving — which means already-printed material stops working. We could not verify this against QR TIGER's own terms because the pricing pages we tried returned 404. If you are evaluating them, this is the specific question to ask their support in writing before you print anything.

Can I move my QR TIGER codes to ScanMePlz without reprinting?
Yes, and you do not have to choose immediately. Point each QR TIGER dynamic code at the matching ScanMePlz code's address. Your printed codes still scan, they just route through QR TIGER to us. Once you are happy, reprint from the new codes at your own pace — or do not, and leave the chain in place.
