Where QR Code Monkey is the better choice
If you only want a good-looking static code, QR Code Monkey gives you more without a paid plan: gradients, corner shapes, a logo and the EPS format. It also covers more content types, such as MeCard, Twitter or Bitcoin. For a poster that will never change and does not need measuring, it is enough.
Where Krealo QR is the better choice
- You want to know how many people scan your code, day after day.
- You want to fix or change the destination after printing, with the Pro plan.
- You want a hosted page: a vCard business card, a PDF menu or a link in bio page.
- You prefer a Pro plan at US$5.99 a month (US$39.99 a year) plus taxes.
