How to Choose the Right QR Code API
For Developers & Startups
If you're building an application that needs QR code generation, prioritize API design, documentation quality, and reliability. QR Code API is built specifically for this use case.
For Marketing Teams
If you need to create QR codes manually with design flexibility, consider QR Tiger or QRCode Monkey for their web interfaces and templates.
For Quick Prototypes
If you just need a quick QR code for testing and don't care about features, goQR.me works fine—but don't use it for production.
For Enterprise
For enterprise needs (SLA, white-label, high volume), contact QR Code API or Beaconstac for custom plans.
