Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about free QR codes, editable dynamic codes, billing, business tools and your data.
Last updated 22 October 2026
Free use and accounts
Do I need an account to make a QR code?
No. Static QR codes are free and unlimited with no account. You only need an account for dynamic (editable) QR codes, scan analytics and the business tools.
What does the free plan include?
Unlimited static QR codes, plus one dynamic QR code per account that never expires, with 30 days of scan analytics. No credit card is needed.
Is there a watermark on free QR codes?
No. Downloaded static QR codes have no watermark. Hosted pages on the free plan show a small "Made with Scansational" badge, which paid plans can remove.
Can I get another free dynamic QR by signing in a different way?
No. The free dynamic QR is one per account. Signing in with a different provider does not grant an additional free code.
Which currency are prices in?
US dollars. Scansational is built for customers worldwide.
Dynamic QR codes and analytics
What is the difference between a static and a dynamic QR code?
A static code stores its content directly in the pattern and can't be edited after printing. A dynamic code stores a short Scansational link, so you can change where it leads at any time and see scan analytics.
Does the free dynamic QR code expire?
No. Each account's free dynamic QR code has no expiry date and doesn't require a credit card.
Is there a scan limit?
There is no fixed monthly scan limit on any plan. Normal fair-use and anti-abuse protections apply.
What do the analytics show?
Scan counts over time, device type, browser, operating system, country where available and approximate unique visitors. Known bots are excluded from the counts.
What can a dynamic QR code open?
Any website, or a page Scansational hosts for you: a menu, a PDF, a contact card, a list of links, audio and video links, a Google review prompt or social links.
Can I use my own domain for the short link?
Not yet. Dynamic codes use scansational.com short links today.
Plans and billing
How much do paid plans cost?
Starter US$5/month (10 dynamic codes), Pro US$15/month (100), Business US$39/month (500) and Agency US$89/month (2,000). Annual billing costs 10 times the monthly price, so two months are free.
Is there a one-off option?
Yes. The Lifetime Dynamic QR is a single US$29 payment for one more permanent dynamic QR code, with no subscription.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, from the billing page in your dashboard. You keep paid features until the end of the period you've paid for.
What happens to my QR codes if I downgrade or cancel?
Nothing is deleted. Your free dynamic QR (the first one you created) and any Lifetime QR keep working. Other dynamic codes pause until you upgrade again. Static codes work forever.
How is payment handled?
Checkout and billing run on Stripe. Scansational never sees or stores your full card details.
Is tax included?
Prices are shown in US dollars. If tax applies where you are, it is shown at checkout before you pay.
Business tools
Which plan includes Equipment Passports, feedback forms and Book QR pages?
Pro and above. Equipment Passports also cover gym machine instructions.
Which plan includes Sites & Compliance?
Pro and above: QR site and visitor sign-in, inspections and a compliance register with expiry reminders.
Which plan includes roster sign-on, CRM and jobs?
Business and above, along with automated email alerts for equipment faults and feedback.
Do visitors need an app?
No. Everything opens in the phone's normal browser after scanning.
Does Scansational take payments or sell tickets for me?
No. Scansational does not process payments on behalf of QR code owners. Your codes can link to your own shop, booking or ticketing page.
Privacy and safety
Are static QR code contents uploaded?
No. Static codes are generated in your browser, so their contents (including Wi-Fi passwords) never reach our servers.
Do you track people who scan my codes?
Scans are counted for the code owner's analytics. We don't sell personal information, and site analytics cookies only load if a visitor accepts them.
How do you stop malicious QR codes?
Destinations are checked against malicious-URL lists and structural rules, and anyone can report a code at scansational.com/abuse.
Can I delete my account?
Yes, from Settings in your dashboard. You can also email support@scansational.com.
