Guide
Two decisions come up more than any others once you're actually generating QR codes: whether a free tool is good enough or a paid one is worth it, and whether a given code should be static or dynamic. Both come with real tradeoffs that aren't always obvious upfront. This guide breaks down both decisions directly.
The QR code itself is the same either way — the differences that matter are in editability, longevity, and what happens if the destination needs to change. This breaks down exactly what you're paying for.
A direct, practical framework for choosing between the two, distilled from the tradeoffs covered throughout this site.
