Is a printed packaging QR code stuck forever?

Only if it is static. A Wi-Fi code is static and must be reprinted to change the network. Website, menu, PDF and vCard codes encode a link we own, so you can edit the destination after printing.

Can I see who scanned it?

No names or emails. Dynamic codes record scan counts, device type and country. That is all.

$1.99 covers 7 days, then $97/year unless you cancel. Monthly is $29. Lifetime is $197 once. There is no free plan.

Should I use a free generator instead?

Yes, if the destination will never move and you do not need a scan count. That is the honest case for Canva or a phone's built-in maker.

Use case

QR codes for packaging

A carton that outlives the campaign.

Create a packaging QR code

The SKU lasts longer than the URL

A seasonal landing page 404s while the carton is still on a shelf.

The ink is the expensive part

Dynamic codes on packaging keep the destination current. Lifetime is the plan that matches a long shelf life because there is no subscription left to lapse. A static code is only right if the URL is truly immortal.
