A QRCode Monkey Alternative
With Dynamic QR Codes Built In
QRCode Monkey's free tool makes a static code - fixed forever, no tracking. EverScans adds dynamic QR codes and scan analytics on the same account, not a separate paid product.

How the free tiers actually compare
Based on what's publicly listed on each tool's own site. Both free tiers are real and usable - the difference is what's included without a second signup.
| Free tier | QRCode Monkey | EverScans (Starter) |
|---|---|---|
| Scan tracking | Not on the free tool | Lifetime scan count included |
| Dynamic QR codes (editable destination) | Separate paid "PRO" product | Same account, Pro plan |
| Other QR types (WiFi, vCard, menu, etc.) | Website URLs only | 19 types, 11 with a free generator |
| Short link / URL shortener | Not offered | Included, free |
Comparison based on each provider's own published pricing and feature pages. Features change - double-check on QRCode Monkey's site for their current plan details. QRCode Monkey's free tool does include unlimited static codes with logo customization, which this table leaves out since it's not where EverScans has an edge.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does QRCode Monkey's free plan actually include?
Static QR codes with design customization (logos, colors, shapes), free and unlimited. The destination is fixed once created, and there's no scan tracking on the free tool - dynamic QR codes and analytics are a separate paid product.
Is EverScans's free plan also static-only?
The free Starter plan creates static QR codes too, with a lifetime scan count included. Dynamic QR codes - where you can change the destination later without reprinting - are available on the same account after upgrading to Pro, not a separate signup or product.
Can I move a QR code I already made with another tool over to EverScans?
Not directly - a QR code's visual pattern is generated from its destination at creation time, so there's no "import" step between tools. You'd create a new code pointing at the same destination, which only matters if you haven't printed the old one yet.
Does EverScans have a logo/custom design option like QRCode Monkey?
Yes, Pro and Business plans support custom colors and a logo overlay. The free Starter plan generates a clean, standard QR code without those customizations.
What does EverScans have that a static-only generator doesn't?
Scan analytics (device, location, time) on dynamic codes, the ability to change a destination without reprinting, scheduled content that switches by day or time, a flagship Menu QR feature with PDF hosting, team accounts, and a full suite of free no-signup tools beyond just website QR codes - a scanner, and generators for WiFi, email, SMS, location, social media, app downloads, and video.
