Unitag alternative: a QR code you pay for once
Unitag's cheapest paid plan that includes dynamic codes is Silver (priced in pounds). We could not turn that into a three-year US dollar total, because it is priced in another currency, so compare the figure to $3 once for a ThreeDollarQRCode code. Convert the price to your own currency to compare. A ThreeDollarQRCode code never renews.
This page compares them straight, including the things Unitag does that we do not. Prices were read on October 30, 2026 and can change, so check Unitag's own page before you decide.
What does Unitag cost for one editable QR code?
It is priced in pounds, and its Silver plan covers unlimited dynamic codes per page, in batches of 25. There is only a trial, not a free plan.

When is Unitag the better choice?
Unitag offers a trial, not a free plan (Trial only). If you want to pay nothing, a free static code or another service's free tier is the way to do it. If you only need one code to last for years, a one-time payment avoids a yearly bill.
Paid plans from services like Unitag generally add things we do not offer: colored or logo designs, detailed analytics, bulk creation, team accounts, and support. If you need those, a subscription can be fair value.
- You need styled QR codes with colors or a logo.
- You need to create dozens or hundreds of codes, or work with a team.
- You need detailed scan analytics beyond a simple count.
When does a $3 one-time code fit better?
ThreeDollarQRCode is for one code that has to keep working and might need its destination changed later: a sign, a menu, a flyer, a package, a van. You pay $3 once, get your code and a private edit link by email, and never get a renewal notice.
There is no account to create and no plan to cancel. What you give up compared with Unitag is design options and analytics beyond a scan count. Your code is a plain black-and-white code.
- You print something that has to last, and you want to avoid a yearly bill.
- You only need one or a few codes.
- You want to change the destination later without reprinting.
Can I move my Unitag codes to ThreeDollarQRCode?
Not for codes that are already printed. A printed Unitag code points to a short address that only Unitag controls, and nobody else can redirect it.
What you can do is make a new ThreeDollarQRCode code for new prints, and let the old Unitag code run until you replace it. Check what Unitag does to a code when a plan ends before you decide when to switch.
