FreeQR is a QR code generator that pushes back on the dark pattern most QR services use: codes that expire unless you keep paying. Here, dynamic codes stay live forever on the free plan, with built-in landing pages and real-time scan analytics, and you can create one without signing up.

Paid tiers ($3.99 and $9.99/month) add advanced features for growing businesses — more codes, branded URLs, deeper analytics — but the free tier is genuinely usable. Common use cases on the site include print collateral, packaging, restaurant menus, and events.
