Why is QRPulse so much cheaper?
QRPulse is built by CodeXcelerate, a lean software studio. We have deliberately priced QRPulse Pro at $2/month because we believe the best QR analytics in the world should not cost $30/month. Our infrastructure costs are low, our team is small, and we pass those savings directly to you.
QR Tiger charges $7–$16/month for what is, at its core, the same core product: a dynamic QR redirect with analytics. Their higher price funds a large sales team, enterprise compliance, and a feature set that most small businesses never need.

What QR Tiger does well — and when to choose it
QR Tiger is a well-established QR platform with a large feature library. It supports a wide range of QR code types — URLs, vCards, menus, PDFs, social profiles, app store links, and more — with robust styling and template options. Its bulk generation feature lets you create thousands of codes at once from a spreadsheet, which is genuinely useful for large campaigns. It also offers an API for programmatic code creation and multi-user team seats.
If you are running an enterprise marketing operation that needs bulk QR generation, a REST API to integrate with your internal tooling, or multiple team members with separate logins and permissions, QR Tiger's higher-tier plans are designed for that scale. For those use cases, the higher price is justified.
Where QR Tiger over-serves most small businesses
- No analytics on the free plan — static codes only, no tracking
- $7/month entry plan limits you to just 3 dynamic codes
- Unlimited codes start at $16/month — 8× QRPulse's price
- Annual plan is $84/year vs $20/year for QRPulse Pro — $64 more per year
- Large feature set adds complexity that most restaurants, retailers, and event teams do not need
Frequently asked questions

QRPulse covers the core features most businesses need: dynamic QR codes with editable destinations, real-time scan analytics (location, device, time), custom logo & colours, CSV export, and expiry dates. QR Tiger has a larger feature surface (bulk QR codes, API access, team seats) suited for large enterprise. If you need dynamic QR codes with full analytics at the lowest cost, QRPulse wins clearly.
Yes. Export your QR code list from QR Tiger, then recreate each code in QRPulse with the same destination URL. Your existing printed codes will stop working (since they point to QR Tiger's servers), so you will need to reprint or replace them — but QRPulse's cost saving pays for reprinting within months.
Both offer location, device, and timestamp data. QRPulse's analytics update in real time (under 1 second after scan) with a clean dashboard showing hourly heatmaps, geographic breakdowns, and device splits. QR Tiger's analytics are solid but require a higher-tier plan to access full data. On the entry paid plan, QRPulse delivers more analytics for less money.
Yes. Payments are handled by Razorpay, which supports international cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) as well as UPI. The platform, dashboard, and analytics are fully in English and designed for global use.
