People compare us because both do dynamic QR codes — print once, change the link later, track scans.
QR TIGER is the bigger platform. More QR types, bulk generation, integrations (Zapier, HubSpot, Google Analytics on higher tiers), geofencing, password protection.
DotQR is narrower. We're built for small businesses that want codes live today without learning a full marketing suite.
Here's the thing: TIGER often looks like the safer pick because the feature list is longer. But if you compare price per dynamic code and scan limits, DotQR is usually competitive — sometimes better — for everyday use.
Prices below are indicative. Competitors change plans often — check their site before you buy.
Pricing at a glance
| Plan level | DotQR | QR TIGER (approx.) |
|---|---|---|
| Free | 5 dynamic codes, 1000 scans/month | ~3 dynamic codes, ~500 scans per code |
| Entry paid | — | ~$7/month → ~12 dynamic codes |
| Mid tier | €15/month (Professional) → 100 dynamic codes, unlimited scans | ~$16/month (often yearly billing) → ~200 dynamic codes, unlimited scans |
| Higher tier | €35/month (Team) → 500 dynamic codes | ~$37/month → 600+ dynamic codes |
On the mid tier, you're in the same ballpark in dollars/euros. TIGER gives more codes at that level; DotQR Professional is simpler and we don't cap scans on paid plans.
For a restaurant with 10–20 codes, both free tiers might be enough. For 50–100 active campaigns, compare the mid-tier numbers above — not just the logo on the homepage.
What both do well
- Dynamic QR codes — edit destination after printing
- QR styling (colors, logo, frames)
- Scan analytics on paid plans
- WiFi, links, vCard, and other common QR types
If you only need "menu on the table + see if anyone scanned," either tool can work.
Where QR TIGER pulls ahead
Be honest about what you need:
- Bulk QR creation — thousands of codes in one batch (Advanced tier and up)
- Integrations — Zapier, HubSpot, GA on higher plans
- Extra campaign tools — geofencing, password-protected codes, smart multi-URL QR
- Bigger catalog — more predefined campaign types out of the box
- Brand recognition — TIGER shows up in every "best QR generator" list
If QR is central to your marketing ops and you live in those integrations, TIGER is a logical choice. You're paying for breadth.
Where DotQR pulls ahead
- Free tier — 5 dynamic codes vs TIGER's ~3 (useful for trying real campaigns, not just one test code)
- Mid-tier value — €15/month for 100 dynamic codes and unlimited scans; no per-scan surprise bills on Professional
- Simpler UI — less time in settings, more time printing and placing codes
- Straightforward pricing — see our pricing page; no maze of add-ons for basic dynamic + analytics
- EU-focused product — GDPR-minded setup, dotqr.io short links, sensible defaults for local businesses
We don't try to replace your entire martech stack. We try to make QR codes that work for cafés, shops, freelancers, and small agencies.
What DotQR doesn't have (yet)
So you're not surprised:
- No Zapier / HubSpot / native GA integration today
- No geofencing or password-on-scan like TIGER's advanced tiers
- Bulk CSV at scale is on our Team roadmap — TIGER is ahead there right now
If those are must-haves on day one, TIGER wins on features regardless of price.
Who should pick what
Pick QR TIGER if: you're a marketer or agency running many campaigns, you need bulk + integrations, or your team already knows the tool.
Pick DotQR if: you want dynamic codes and analytics without enterprise complexity, you care about cost per code at the Professional tier, or you're a small business that just needs menus, WiFi, links, and promos working this week.
We're biased — it's our product. But the decision isn't "more features = always better." It's whether you'll use those features.
Bottom line
TIGER = more tools, more learning curve, often the right call for power users.
DotQR = often better value on free and mid tiers if you mainly need editable codes, unlimited scans on Professional, and a clean dashboard.
