What do you like best about QRCG?

We use this constantly for our clients that are wanting QR codes for their events. Clients use our website for their ticketing needs and quite often then ask us to create them a QR code for the event so that they can post it on their social media or on flyers.

"Bait & Switch - TOTAL SCAM"

What do you like best about QRCG?

Erm, nothing? What they do for a fee (undisclosed fee!) can be done just as well for free elsewhere. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

They do not inform you up front that the QR codes you are generating will seem to work fine for 2 weeks and then will be disabled. Those 2 weeks are just enough time to get everything printed off and distributed and then they hold you hostage. They will claim that they have a free plan, but they never tell you that there is a difference between dynamic and static codes and the way to choose a static code is very effectively hidden - the end result is that you are unable to switch to the free plan unless you abandon all the codes you used (printed, distributed) and create new ones. I thought I could switch to a paid plan for a month and at least the majority of the scans of my now-printed-and-distributed codes would be valid, but, NO, you can't sign up for a month. You have to sign up for a year and there's no partial refund even if I cancel after a day. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Amazing QR code generator"
4.5/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

Making our own customized QR code. I find the different options to make different QR codes very helpful. Like website, social media, pdf, images, etc. Customer support is better in this QR code generator. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

The scanning of the QR code takes longer as mentioned by our customers. Could this QR code generator detect the mobile device in which they are getting scanned? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Misleading Website"
0/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

Honestly, after this, nothing. It is no easier to use than QRCodeMonkey, which is very straightforward with its upgrading options and has all the same capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

There are two different kinds of QR to generate, dynamic and static. Static is free, dynamic is not. It is not clear when you enter the website that if you create a dynamic QR code, you will lose access to this QR code unless you pay for a subscription. I received a notification about receiving a scan on my code and clicked the link to check out the website and came to find that my QR code will be expiring in 10 days.

I was confused as to how I had made this mistake and panicked because we had printed this QR code on signage, so I tried to create another one to see where I messed up.

When creating a QR code, you are taken to a landing page where you can select what you want the QR code for (website, social media, etc) UNDERNEATH this list, in faint, tiny writing, it says static codes and there is a little plus button you hit to bring up the dropdown menu for static QR codes. It is purposefully hidden this way so you will miss it and select a dynamic code instead. Nowhere on this page does it explain the difference between a dynamic and static code and that you will eventually have to pay for one over the other.

This website and process is incredibly unclear and misleading. There is nowhere on the website to even contact anybody with a complaint. This appears to be a legitimate business but feels incredibly scammy with the way they basically trap you into using the dynamic codes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A great resource with limitations."
3.5/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

Great options for design and functionality is strong. Always seems to work property. Great tool overall. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

The biggest issue is the that the subscription plans that are available are very limiting. It's hard to utilize this tool for the exact number of codes that you need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about QRCG?

It is easy to use and set up. You can also create dynamic QRs which can come in handy Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

They basically set traps everywhere so you Upgrade

Oh, already have some QR codes? We made them Dynamic so you can only use them if you pay our Annual Plan.

Nothing worse than a SAAS that depends on tricking their users into paying.

And if you really need those QRs you can't even pay a monthly subscription. Nope, they only offer an annual Plan.

You'll end up printing your QR codes again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Zero Warning on Auto Renewal and No Refunds"
0.5/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

It was easy to get set up and use, and it worked. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

After receiving zero warning about an automatic renewal approaching (which they automatically enroll you in when you sign up), I asked politely for a refund and let their support know I would no longer be using the service and did not intend to renew for another year. Then I received a reply with zero understanding, zero empathy, and zero compassion. They stated they sent a reply 30 days prior which they absolutely did not. As many of the others in this forum have stated, they lie about sending a notification and just charge you. I cannot recommend highly enough that you go with a different QR code service. They should really be ashamed of themselves. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Its a scamming company who charge you even after cancellation"
0/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

They did what they say they do, we were able to create QR codes and share across, which has been available for free as well at many websites. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

We contacted them on Nov 2021 to cancel our subscription, as we no longer required their services. In Jan 2022 we were charged for the whole year and upon sharing the communications to their customer services agent Sana Mahmaudi, she refused the refund straight stating sorry we won't be able to refund you - she had zero knowledge of the issue and hasn't responded since I tried reaching for further clarification. The whole image of the company has been destroyed with simple tricks she played with us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Reliable for years now"
5/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

I have used qrcg.com for years now, had personal contact with the founders and it was always reliable and just works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

I in general do not like to pay for QR codes, but if you want dynamic codes, there is no other way around this. I don't want to print QR codes on event pages with fixed URLs when I might to change them, so I pay. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Its a SCAM"
0/5
What do you like best about QRCG?

Nothing its a scam website that creates QR codes that expire without notice Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about QRCG?

The website creates QR codes that expire without notice, requiring you to pay a "Ransome" or subscription in order to keep the codes working. The website does not disclose that the "Free" codes expire, leading many users to bring their codes to print, only to find out a few weeks later they will have to pay a substantial amount in order to keep them operational. This website should be investigated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
