MetricQR vs QR TIGER
QR TIGER is a mature, QR-first platform with a deep feature set and a large customer base, and on capability the two products overlap heavily. The meaningful differences are in the commercial model rather than in what the codes can do.
Two things in QR TIGER’s own published terms are worth understanding before a print run. Its free plan allows three dynamic codes with a 500-scan limit on each, so a code that succeeds stops working. And its FAQ states plainly that dynamic codes are valid only for the subscription period — in their words, your QR codes will only stop working once the plan expires.
That last point is the one to weigh seriously, because it applies to codes already printed and in the world. MetricQR does not cap scans, does not cap the number of codes, and does not deactivate codes if you stop paying — the free plan is a real destination, not a trial.
Figures for QR TIGER were read from their published pricing on 2 August 2026. Pricing changes often — if you spot something out of date, tell us and we will correct it.

When QR TIGER is the better choice
We would rather you pick the right tool than pick ours. These are the cases where QR TIGER genuinely fits better:
- You need bulk generation of hundreds or thousands of codes in one operation — that is a genuine gap in our product.
- You need a mature public API for programmatic code creation.
- You want the adjacent products they build around QR, such as their restaurant menu platform.
- Enterprise procurement matters to you and you need a vendor with a longer track record and formal support tiers.

MetricQR vs QR TIGER FAQs
Does QR TIGER limit scans on its free plan?
Yes. Its published FAQ states the free plan allows three dynamic QR codes with a 500-scan limit on each, alongside unlimited static codes. MetricQR does not cap scans on any plan, free or paid.
Do QR TIGER codes stop working if I cancel?
According to their published FAQ, dynamic codes are valid only for the subscription period and stop working once the plan expires. On MetricQR, codes created on the free plan keep working, and if a Pro subscription lapses the codes continue to resolve — you lose the Pro features, not the codes.
Is MetricQR a free QR TIGER alternative?
For most use cases, yes. Unlimited dynamic codes, unlimited scans and full analytics are on the free plan here. QR TIGER is the stronger choice if you need bulk generation or a public API, neither of which we currently offer.
Which is better for printed campaigns?
The deciding factor is what happens over the life of the print run. A printed code may be scanned for years, so a per-code scan cap or a subscription-linked expiry is a risk that lands after the money is spent on printing. Weigh those published terms against your campaign’s expected lifespan.
