Static vs dynamic QR codes

Choose based on what happens after you print.

A static QR code contains the final destination itself; changing that destination requires a new code. A dynamic code contains a managed redirect, which makes editing and scan analytics possible after it is printed.

Built for the work that happens after printing

Static is simple

It can work without a service, but the embedded link cannot be changed.

Dynamic is adaptable

Update the destination and measure scans without replacing printed material.

Longevity matters

Choose a provider whose terms keep created codes redirecting if your subscription changes.

Good fits

Use static for truly permanent plain links
Use dynamic for campaigns and changing content
Use separate dynamic codes to compare placements

A straightforward promise

QR Inspector sends scanners directly to your destination with no advertising interstitial. Created codes keep redirecting if you stop paying, and scans are not metered.

Questions and answers

Can a static QR code track scans?

Not on its own. You would need to embed a separately managed analytics URL as its destination.

Does dynamic mean expiring?

Not inherently. QR Inspector's created codes keep redirecting and have no scan limit.
