QR Code Spot vs QRCodeChimp
The short answer: both give you 10 free editable codes. QRCodeChimp has far more design options, landing pages and digital business cards, and lets you add your own logo for free. QR Code Spot has no scan limit, and codes keep working after a paid plan ends.
Facts about QRCodeChimp come from its own pricing page and help articles, checked on 13 November 2026. Prices and plans change, so check their page before you decide. QRCodeChimp is a trademark of its owner; QR Code Spot isn't connected with it.

Where QRCodeChimp is better
- Far more design: QR code shapes, stickers, 3D codes and ready-made designs.
- Your own logo on free codes; on QR Code Spot that needs a paid plan.
- Landing pages, forms, event tickets and digital business cards you can add to Apple and Google Wallet.
- HubSpot and Salesforce integrations, an API, and single sign-on on higher plans.
- A refund window on your first purchase of 15 days, against our 14.
Where QR Code Spot is better
- No scan limit on any plan. A busy menu can use up QRCodeChimp's free 1,000 scans a month, and then its codes pause until the next month.
- Codes keep working after a paid plan ends. QRCodeChimp pauses dynamic codes above the Free plan's 10.
- Every file type on Free, including SVG, PDF, EPS and a CMYK print PDF.
- Paid plans start lower: $5 a month, or $4 billed yearly, for 50 codes with no scan limit.
- Spot Live guest requests for restaurants and hotels.
Moving codes from QRCodeChimp
- In your QRCodeChimp dashboard, note each code's destination, and which are near the scan limit.
- Make matching codes on QR Code Spot: editable if they'll change, static if they won't.
- Reprint and replace the busiest codes first, and test each new code with two phones.
Printed codes from another service can't be moved: they hold that service's short link. Not sure whether a code depends on a service? Check it with the free QR code checker.
