Switch to FreeQrly if, stay with QR Code Monkey if

Switch to FreeQrly if you want anything beyond a fixed code: editing after printing, scan counts, batch runs, barcodes, or an API — while keeping static codes free with no account.

Stay with QR Code Monkey if you only ever need fixed codes and you care most about print design depth: EPS and PDF vectors, templates, gradients, and a 30% logo area. For that one job, it is the best free tool we checked — FreeQrly does not beat it on vector formats.

Good to know

Why switch from QR Code Monkey at all?

Monkey's free tool is excellent for fixed codes. The switch is for everything after printing: editing a destination, seeing scan counts, making codes in batches, or generating barcodes — none of which the free tool does.

Do my printed Monkey codes stop working if I switch?

No. Static codes you already printed keep working forever, wherever they were made, because the destination lives inside the pattern. You only remake the codes you want to edit or measure.

Do I need an account?

Not for static codes — FreeQrly static codes need no sign-up, same as Monkey's generator. You sign in free only when you want dynamic codes, statistics, or a dashboard.

What does FreeQrly Pro cost?

$9 per month or $90 per year for unlimited dynamic codes. The free plan already covers 20 dynamic codes (currently unlimited during the offer), so most switchers never pay.
