Compare current pricing, not old screenshots
QR software pricing changes. The comparison below uses current official pricing checked September 23, 2026 and links to the source so you can verify it before buying.
Start with the number of codes you actually need
For a few important QR codes, compare the annual bundle price and the features you will actually use. As your needs expand into team workflows or enterprise tooling, a broader platform can make more sense.
Current pricing comparison
TwoDollarQR vs. Bitly for a small number of QR codes
Compare the core job first: keeping a printed QR code editable and measurable. Larger platforms include broader feature sets, so the lowest sticker price is not the only consideration.
| Feature | TwoDollarQR | Bitly Core |
|---|---|---|
| Listed price | $20/year for 1 QR (5 for $49, 10 for $99, or 50 for $299) | $10/month ($120/year), annual only |
| Dynamic QR allowance | 1, 5, 10, or 50-code annual bundles | 5 QR codes/month on Core |
| Analytics | Scans, locations, devices, browsers, recent activity | 30 days of click and scan data |
| Scan policy | Unlimited scans while active | Unlimited clicks and QR scans |
If you only need one dynamic QR code
TwoDollarQR is $20/year. Bitly's listed paid plan is $120/year, a $100 difference in annual plan price.
When Bitly may make more sense
Businesses that also need branded links, landing pages, and broader link management.
