Three plans tie as the cheapest at $5 a month billed yearly: The QR Code Generator's Flex plan, Scanova's Basic plan and QR Planet's Starter plan. Two of them include bulk creation and CSV export at that price: The QR Code Generator's Flex plan, and QR Planet's Starter plan, which excludes VAT and needs a 3-month minimum. Scanova adds bulk only on its $35 Standard plan. The cheapest paid plans for businesses have a median of $8.67 a month billed yearly (6 platforms).

What the price actually buys
The cheapest paid plans run from $5 to $39.99 a month, and what they include varies as widely as the price. The QR Code Generator's $5 Flex plan includes bulk creation and CSV export of scan data, and so does QR Planet's $5 Starter plan (before VAT, with a 3-month minimum). Hovercode charges $39 for those features, QR TIGER $16 and Scanova $35.
The next tier is where teams and analytics arrive. Hovercode adds bulk, API and 10 team members at $39 a month; Uniqode adds Google Analytics, Zapier and the API at Core ($49 a month billed yearly) and more seats at Plus ($99); Flowcode adds its API at Growth ($250 a month billed yearly); its feature table ticks CRM integrations from Pro Plus while its Growth card lists them under Growth.
Several plans bill yearly only: Uniqode, The QR Code Generator Flex, Scanova Basic, QRCodeKIT Starter and Flowcode Growth. QR Planet's minimum term is 3 months, and QRFY's is 3 months at $117.

- Medians exclude Canva (not a QR-specific plan) and tools whose price is quoted on a sales call.
- Re-checked monthly by an automated script that looks for each quoted price on the vendor's page. Every change goes in the change log. Dated screenshots of every pricing page are on the evidence page.
