A QRCodeChimp alternative that keeps printed codes redirecting
QRCodeChimp has a generous free tier with ten dynamic codes, plus digital business cards, forms and landing pages. For teams that want all of that in one place, it is a capable choice. The main difference with QRPebble is what happens at the limits. QRCodeChimp's FAQ describes monthly scan caps and says dynamic codes can be paused when you pass them or when a paid plan lapses. QRPebble promises that dynamic codes keep redirecting after you cancel or downgrade; only editing is locked above your plan limit. Every figure below was read on their pricing page.

When QRPebble fits better

- You want cancellation handled in the dashboard through Stripe, not by email.
- You need retail or logistics barcodes as well as QR codes.

- Create equivalent QRPebble dynamic codes. Keep the old plan active while printed codes are still in circulation, because they point at QRCodeChimp's short domain.
- Replace printed codes at the next print run.
