QR code API pricing. No surprises.
Free to start. Pay as you grow. Your QR codes never expire silently.
Most QR code services lure you in with a "free" plan, then deactivate your codes after 14 days and demand $25-50/month to keep them alive. We built QR for Agent to be the opposite. The free tier is real. The API is included. And your QR codes keep working.
Two plans. One principle: you see exactly what you pay for.

What $0 gets you
Everything you need to give your AI agent -- or your app -- full QR code capabilities. No trial. No expiry. No credit card.
Dynamic QR codes
Create QR codes that you can update after printing. Change the destination URL anytime -- the image stays the same. Your agent handles it with a single prompt.
Full REST API
Every endpoint. No paywall. No "upgrade to unlock API access." Other services charge $49/month just to make an API call. Here, the API is the product -- and it's free to start.
MCP server access
npx qr-for-agent -- your AI agent creates, updates, and tracks QR codes in natural language. Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, and any MCP-compatible client.
Scan analytics
Track every scan: count, timestamp, referrer. Your agent can pull analytics data and adjust campaigns without opening a dashboard.
Multi-tenant isolation
One API key per client. Build agents that serve multiple customers with complete data isolation. Agencies and consultants: this is built for your workflow.
Open source
MIT-licensed. Read the code on GitHub. Self-host on your own infrastructure if you prefer. No vendor lock-in -- if we disappear, your QR codes keep working.
What others charge $49/month for, we include for free.
"Most QR code APIs are either overpriced ($50+/month for basic generation), overcomplicated, or require using their hosted dashboard." Here's how the market compares.
| Feature | Traditional QR Services | QR for Agent |
|---|---|---|
| API access | $29-49/month minimum | Included at $0 |
| MCP integration | None (or via Zapier) | Native -- 6 dedicated tools |
| Dynamic QR codes | Often locked behind paid plans | Included |
| Scan analytics | Varies by tier | Included |
| Dashboard required | Yes -- API is an add-on | No. API-first. |
| QR codes after trial | Deactivated without warning | Never deactivated |
| Source code | Closed source | Open source on GitHub |
| Pricing model | Monthly subscription with arbitrary limits | Free to start, usage-based Pro |
For context: Uniqode charges $49/month for API access. Bitly charges $29/month for 10 QR codes. QR Tiger starts at $37/month for their API plan. QR for Agent gives you the full API, MCP access, and dynamic QR codes at $0.
