QR Code Scan Tracker
Country. Device. Time. Every Scan.
Track who scans your QR codes — country, city, device, browser, and exact timestamp — in real time. Free QR code scan counter with full analytics. No credit card needed.
The problem with untracked QR codes
You can't optimise what you can't measure.
Most QR codes are invisible after printing. You put them on business cards, packaging, or posters — and then nothing. No idea how many people scanned, from where, on which devices, or at what time. Print campaigns become guesswork.
QRPulse fixes this. Every scan is logged in real time with country, city, device type, browser, OS, and timestamp. Your dashboard shows the complete picture the moment someone points their camera at your code.

Why marketers and businesses choose QRPulse for scan tracking
Six ways QR code scan tracking transforms your campaigns.
Prove your print campaigns work
QR scan data is direct attribution from print to digital — something clicks alone can't give you. Show clients, stakeholders, or investors exactly how many people engaged with each physical touchpoint in your campaign.
Identify your best performing placements
Assign one QR code per location or placement. Compare scan rates across table cards, window stickers, and flyers to find out which placements drive engagement and allocate budget accordingly next time.
Time your campaign to peak interest
Hourly scan data reveals when your audience engages most. If scans spike on Saturday mornings, you know when to reinforce with social posts or promotions. If an event drives a scan spike, you can see it the moment it happens.
Understand your audience geographically
For campaigns that span regions or countries, per-scan geo data shows exactly where your audience is. Identify unexpected geographic demand or underperforming regions that need more coverage.
Measure before-and-after any change
Changed your landing page? Ran a new campaign? Filter your scan analytics to specific date ranges and compare periods side-by-side. QRPulse scan data makes A/B testing print materials straightforward.
Export data for client reporting
Pro users can export the full scan log as CSV and import it into Google Sheets, Excel, or Tableau. Build client-ready dashboards showing scan counts, geographic reach, and device breakdown from your QR code campaigns.

Frequently asked
Questions, answered
Yes. QRPulse tracks a running total of every scan for each QR code, updated in real time. Your dashboard shows the cumulative scan count, a scan trend chart, and a breakdown by country, city, device type, browser, and time of day.
Each scan event records: the exact timestamp (UTC), country, city, region/state, device type (mobile, desktop, or tablet), device model where available, browser name, operating system and version, and referrer URL if present. All data is displayed in your real-time dashboard and is exportable as CSV on the Pro plan.
Yes. The QRPulse free plan includes real-time scan tracking for 2 active QR codes with up to 50 scans logged per month at no cost. The Pro plan ($2/month) removes all limits — unlimited QR codes, unlimited scan logging, and CSV export.
Scan data appears in your QRPulse dashboard within seconds of the scan happening. There is no batch delay or daily refresh — the analytics are truly real-time, which is especially useful for events, launches, or live campaigns where you need instant feedback.
Yes. Every scan is geolocated to country, city, and region using the scanner's IP address. You can see a ranked list of top countries and cities for each QR code, and filter the data by date range to isolate specific campaign periods.
Yes. QRPulse captures device type (mobile, desktop, tablet), device model (e.g. iPhone 15, Samsung Galaxy S24), browser (Chrome, Safari, Firefox), operating system (iOS, Android, Windows, macOS), and OS version for every scan event.
Yes — Pro users can export the complete scan log for any QR code as a CSV file. Each row contains every data point: timestamp, country, city, region, device type, device model, browser, OS, and referrer URL. The CSV imports directly into Google Sheets, Excel, or any BI tool.
To track scans with QRPulse, the QR code needs to encode a QRPulse redirect link (a short link that routes through QRPulse before sending the user to your destination). QR codes created elsewhere point directly to your destination and cannot be tracked retroactively without generating a new QRPulse code.
