Comparison
MyQR vs QR Tiger: An Honest Side-by-Side (2026)
MyQR and QR Tiger both turn a scan into useful information, but they make different trade-offs. MyQR gives you a free dynamic QR code you can re-point anytime, keeps your printed codes working even if you stop paying (we call it cancel-to-static), and lets you cancel in one click. QR Tiger, as of our 2026 review of their public site, has cheaper top-end pricing, native iPhone and Android apps, and an in-dashboard AI chat — features MyQR does not have yet. Below is the honest side-by-side.
What is the main difference between MyQR and QR Tiger?
The biggest difference is what happens to your free and your cancelled codes. MyQR gives you a permanent free dynamic QR code and keeps paid codes redirecting forever after you cancel; QR Tiger, as of our 2026 review of their public site, paywalls dynamic codes and states that data is deleted on cancellation.
A dynamic QR code is one you can re-point to a new link later without reprinting the pattern — because the printed code points at a short redirect link, not directly at your destination. That one feature is where MyQR and QR Tiger diverge most.
On MyQR, a dynamic code is part of the free tier, and you get one to keep with no time limit. As of our 2026 review of their public site, QR Tiger's free tier is static codes only — its homepage explicitly paywalls dynamic and tracking codes — so you need a paid plan to get a re-pointable code there. (Static codes are still genuinely useful; here is the difference between dynamic and static.)
If you stop paying MyQR, a paid dynamic code keeps redirecting to its last destination for good — the sticker on your wall keeps working. As of our 2026 review of their public site, QR Tiger's terms state that on cancellation your data is deleted from their servers and dynamic codes stop redirecting.

How do MyQR and QR Tiger compare feature by feature?
MyQR leads on a permanent free dynamic code, cancel-to-static, one-click cancel, and transparent pricing. QR Tiger, at the time of writing, leads on cheaper higher tiers, native mobile apps, an in-product AI chat, and API access on lower tiers.

|---|---|---|
| Free dynamic QR code | Yes — 1 to keep, no expiry | No — free tier is static only |
| Re-point a code without reprinting | Yes | Yes (paid) |

Read down the table both ways. MyQR's column is honest about what is missing — no mobile app, no AI chat, no public API today. QR Tiger's strengths there are real, and for some people they will be the deciding factor.
Where does QR Tiger do better than MyQR?
QR Tiger has things MyQR does not ship yet: native iPhone and Android apps, an in-product AI chat for your scan data, public API access on lower tiers, and cheaper top-end pricing. If any of those is a must-have, QR Tiger is the more complete tool today.
We want this to be fair, so here is QR Tiger's side, as of our 2026 review of their public site:
- Native mobile apps for iOS and Android — MyQR is web-only right now.
- An in-dashboard AI 'Data Chat' that lets you ask questions of your scan data in plain language. MyQR has no AI chat feature.
- API access is available on the free / trial tier (rate-limited). MyQR has no public API yet.
- Cheapest entry pricing of the competitors we reviewed — a Regular tier at $7/mo, or $65/year (about $5.42/mo).
- A watchlist / alerts feature and a recoverable trash (soft-delete) in the sidebar.
- An actively maintained terms page (last updated March 2026) and a pro-rata refund for the unused part of a term.
Two honest caveats on that pricing, both from our 2026 review: above the $7 entry tier, QR Tiger's Advanced ($16/mo), Premium ($37/mo), and Professional ($89/mo) plans are billed annually only, so you commit to 12 months. And the recon noted that the dynamic-code creation flow appeared to fail silently for free / trial accounts — the wizard accepted a URL but produced no saved code. That may have changed since; check it yourself before you rely on it.
Which scan analytics do you actually get from each?
MyQR records country, region, city, device, OS, browser, language, referrer, and time per scan, plus total and unique-in-24h counts and trends. QR Tiger, at the time of writing, shows total scans, unique scans, top location, top device, and a time series — a smaller breakdown.
Both tools answer the basic question — how many people scanned, and roughly where. MyQR goes a bit deeper on the per-scan detail (OS, browser, language, and time-of-day), which helps when you want to know not just that a code got scanned but what kind of phone and which part of the day. As of our 2026 review of their public site, QR Tiger's analytics did not surface browser, OS, language, or time-of-day breakdowns.
MyQR's scan data is coarse and pseudonymous — for example, MyQR does not store the scanner's raw IP address, so the geography is approximate, not pinpoint. The full details of what is collected and how to export or delete it live in the Privacy Policy. If you want a plain-English tour first, see what scan data do I get? and our guide on how many scans is good.
How do cancelling and pricing compare?
MyQR lets you cancel in one click with no notice period and keeps your printed codes working afterward; QR Tiger, as of our 2026 review, requires 15 days' notice before term end and deletes data on cancellation. MyQR's free tier and 'coming at launch' pricing are public; QR Tiger's marketing pricing page returned a 404 at review time.
| MyQR | QR Tiger | |
|---|---|---|
| Free tier | Generous: 1 dynamic QR + 1 landing page + unlimited static + full analytics + custom shapes + stickers | Static QR codes only (unlimited, no expiry) |
| Entry paid price | Coming at launch, from about $5/mo (early-bird, not final) | $7/mo, or $65/year (~$5.42/mo) |
| Billing flexibility | To be set at launch | Entry tier monthly; higher tiers annual-only |
| Notice to cancel | None — one click | 15-day notice before term end |
| What happens to paid codes after cancel | Keep redirecting forever (cancel-to-static) | Data deleted; dynamic codes stop redirecting |
| In-dashboard upgrade prompts | No save-offer or cancel maze; one-click cancel | Persistent upgrade nags and pricing pop-ups observed |

A note on honesty: MyQR's paid plans are not finalized. They are coming at launch from around $5/mo as an early-bird figure, not a locked price — so treat that as a direction, not a quote. QR Tiger's $7/mo entry is genuinely the cheapest start among the competitors we reviewed, so if monthly cost is the only axis that matters, that is a real point in its favor.

Should you choose MyQR or QR Tiger?
Choose MyQR if you want a free dynamic code, printed codes that survive cancellation, one-click cancel, and transparent pricing — and you are fine with a new tool. Choose QR Tiger if you need a native mobile app, an in-product AI chat, or public API access today.
Here is the plain version. MyQR fits you if your worry is the long game — a free code you actually keep, a printed sticker that won't go dead because a subscription lapsed, and the freedom to leave without a notice period or a guilt-trip flow. The trade-off is that MyQR is new: the free generator is open to everyone with no signup, accounts are free, and everything is free today — but we don't have years of history behind us yet.
QR Tiger fits you if you need things MyQR doesn't ship yet — a native iPhone or Android app, an AI chat over your scan data, or API access — and you are comfortable with annual-only billing on the higher tiers and a 15-day cancellation notice. Both are reasonable choices; they just optimize for different things.
If you want to feel the difference yourself, the fastest path is to make a code on the MyQR generator and walk our 5-day bootcamp — it takes you from your first dynamic code to reading your scans. More detail on features and how customizing your QR works.
Frequently asked questions
Is MyQR a drop-in replacement for QR Tiger?
Not fully yet. MyQR matches QR Tiger on dynamic codes, scan analytics, custom shapes, landing pages, and printing — and adds a permanent free dynamic code and cancel-to-static. But MyQR does not have QR Tiger's native mobile apps, in-product AI chat, or public API today, so if you depend on those, MyQR isn't a 1:1 swap right now.
Can I use MyQR today?
The free QR generator at myqr.dev is open to everyone with no signup — you can make a tracked code instantly. Full accounts are free too: create one to save your codes and see their scan history.
Does QR Tiger have a free dynamic QR code?
No, as of our 2026 review of their public site. QR Tiger's free tier is static codes only, and dynamic (trackable) codes are paywalled. MyQR includes one dynamic code on its free tier with no expiry.
What happens to my codes if I cancel?
On MyQR, a paid dynamic code keeps redirecting to its last destination forever, so printed codes never go dead — that's cancel-to-static. As of our 2026 review, QR Tiger's terms state that data is deleted on cancellation and dynamic codes stop redirecting.
