Why choose QRdx over Flowcode?
The areas where QRdx is the stronger pick. The guide below also covers where Flowcode is the better choice.
Unlimited codes for free
QRdx makes as many static codes as you want, with every pattern, gradient, logo and frame, for free, plus 10 dynamic codes. Flowcode's free plan allows up to 2 Flowcodes.
No scan caps
Static QRdx codes encode your content directly, and QRdx dynamic codes count unlimited scans on every plan. Flowcode's free analytics cover up to 500 scans, and Pro Plus covers 6,000.
Developer-native
QRdx has a REST API on every plan, an MCP server and an npm package with React components and TypeScript types. Flowcode's API access starts on the Growth plan.
Open source, no lock-in
QRdx is AGPL-3.0 licensed and self-hostable. Flowcode is a closed platform, and its codes depend on its redirect service.
QRdx or Flowcode: which should you use?
Flowcode is a marketing platform built around tracked QR codes. Each Flowcode points to a redirect, often to a Flowcode landing page, and the value is in the analytics, audience data and integrations behind it. QRdx is a design-first QR platform: static codes that work forever with no service in between, plus dynamic codes and hosted pages when you need to edit or track.
Who each tool is for
Flowcode fits brands running campaigns who want scan data, landing pages and CRM connections in one product. Its self-serve plans are Free (up to 2 Flowcodes, analytics for 500 scans), Pro Plus (250, annual only, starting at 150 Flowcodes with geo-location analytics, CRM integrations and API access). Larger plans are usage-based or custom.
QRdx fits designers, small businesses and developers who want polished codes without a big subscription: static codes need no account, the Free plan includes 10 dynamic codes and 3 hosted pages, and Pro is 48/yr. Developers can use the REST API, the MCP server or the React library.
Where Flowcode is the better choice
- You need native CRM or CDP integrations and audience data. QRdx has hosted pages, scan analytics and tracking pixels, plus webhooks and Zapier-compatible hooks on Business, but no built-in CRM connectors.
- You want a managed platform with sales support for large campaigns.
Key differences
- Code model: Flowcodes are tracked through Flowcode's service. QRdx static codes need no service at all, and QRdx dynamic codes keep redirecting on every plan, even after you cancel (Never-Hostage Guarantee).
- Free tier: Flowcode's free plan allows 2 codes. QRdx allows unlimited static codes and 10 dynamic codes with the full editor.
- Developer access: Flowcode's API starts on Growth. QRdx's REST API is on every plan, alongside an MCP server, an npm package with React components, and a CLI.
- Openness: QRdx is open source (AGPL-3.0) and self-hostable.
Switching from Flowcode
- Leave printed Flowcodes on an active plan until you reprint them; they redirect through Flowcode.
- Design new codes in the QRdx playground and save the style as a theme.
- Use a QRdx dynamic code for anything you may need to change later, or point a static code straight at its destination.
- Test on several phones before printing.
