QRmkr vs Rebrandly
Rebrandly is a branded-link platform. The QR codes are a feature of the links.
Rebrandly does branded short links properly: your own domain, link management at team scale, and QR codes generated from those links. If custom-domain links are already central to how your marketing works, its QR feature slots in naturally and there is little reason to add another tool. QRmkr solves a different problem. It assumes the code goes onto something physical, that reprinting is expensive, and that the person making it is not managing a link portfolio.

When Rebrandly is the better pick
Marketing teams already invested in branded short links on their own domain, who want QR codes generated from the same link records.
When QRmkr is the better pick
Anyone whose deliverable is a printed code rather than a link portfolio, and who wants a flat price instead of volume tiers.
Why teams pick QRmkr
The print side is the product
SVG export on every plan, a scannability preview while styling, and sizing guidance for everything from a business card to a billboard.
Flat pricing
One Pro price for unlimited dynamic codes and full scan history, rather than tiers priced on link volume.
No portfolio to manage
Make a code, print it, edit the destination when it moves. That is the whole workflow.

FAQ
Can QRmkr use my own domain on the code?
No. Codes redirect through a QRmkr link. If the short URL inside the code has to carry your brand, Rebrandly is the right tool.
Is QRmkr cheaper?
For QR use, generally yes - one flat Pro price rather than tiers priced on link volume. But it does less: no custom domains and no team link management.
Can I change where the QR code points after printing?
Yes - with a dynamic QR code. It encodes a short redirect link, so you can update the destination anytime from your dashboard and every printed copy instantly points to the new URL. Static codes encode the destination directly and can't be changed.
Do these QR codes expire?
No. Static QR codes are free forever and never expire - they encode your destination directly and don't depend on our servers. Dynamic codes keep working as long as your account is active, and you can pause or re-point them whenever you like.
Can I track how many people scan it?
Yes. Dynamic QR codes come with real-time scan analytics: total scans plus device, location, and time-of-day breakdowns, so you can see exactly which placement is working. Scan tracking is part of the Pro plan.
Is there a watermark on the QR code?
No. Every QR code you create - free or paid - is watermark-free and downloadable as a crisp PNG or scalable SVG, ready for print at any size.
Do I need an app to scan the code?
No. Every modern iPhone and Android camera scans QR codes natively - just point the camera at the code and tap the link that appears. No special app required.
What's the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static code encodes your destination directly into the pattern, so it works forever without any server but can never be changed. A dynamic code encodes a short redirect we host, so the printed pattern stays the same while you edit where it goes - and every scan gets logged.
How small can I print a QR code?
As a rule of thumb a code scans from about ten times its own width, so a 2 x 2 cm code reads comfortably at arm's length. Keep dark modules on a light background, leave a clear white margin around the code, and test-scan the final print before you order a run.
Can I put my logo in the middle of the code?
Yes, on Pro. QR codes carry enough error correction to survive a logo in the centre, and the design studio previews scannability as you go so you can see when a logo is getting too large.
What happens to my codes if I stop paying?
Your static codes are unaffected - they never depended on our servers in the first place. Dynamic codes rely on the redirect layer, so plan printed campaigns with that in mind.
Is it really free to start?
Yes. Unlimited static QR codes cost nothing, need no card, and carry no watermark. One dynamic code is included free so you can try editing a destination before deciding whether Pro is worth it.
Before you print it
If the code you are about to print may ever need to point somewhere else, create it as a dynamic QR code you can edit after printing. The printed pattern never changes; only the destination behind it does. It also means you can track every scan by day, device, and location and see which placement actually worked.
