QR Planet’s free offer covers both static files and an editable link. Our October test adds account-based evidence to the anonymous static test from August. The useful combination is a free dynamic destination, scan reporting and vector downloads; the account’s mobile layout is a reason to manage it on a larger screen.
What our Free account test confirmed
From October 13–21, we created a dynamic URL code, changed its destination to our methodology page and confirmed the change after reloading. Three scans on an iPhone 17 Pro reached that page eight days after creation. The CSV contained the three corresponding iPhone rows. Signup was completed by the account holder; we did not time it.
Four additional requests with simulated browser user-agents produced four rows; a request using curl produced none. Time, country, city, device, OS and browser were reported. The help article on visitors explains that unique visitors are IP-based: several devices on one Wi-Fi network can count as one. Location accuracy and deduplication across networks were not tested.
The global monthly export delivered a ZIP containing CSV. The individual shortcut was blocked in this Chrome. A synthetic business card also saved correctly, its downloaded vCard held the expected fields, and its public page fit a 375px viewport. Selecting that card immediately used the one free landing-page slot. The dashboard itself overflowed at the same width: its content measured 1,157px across.
What the free allowance includes
Our account displayed one dynamic QR, one landing page, 25 MB of media storage and 50 scans per day per dynamic code. The public homepage advertised 100 scans per day when re-read on October 21. Until those figures agree, plan around the account’s 50; we did not test enforcement at the limit. No ad interstitial appeared during our phone checks.
For a fixed destination, the anonymous static file we decoded on August 28 contained our URL directly. It has no QR Planet redirect dependency. The free dynamic code uses the vendor’s short link; no scheduled expiry is its documented policy, and our day-8 check is only an early observation. The free generators guide compares those trade-offs.
Paid pricing requires a commitment
Starter is 5 EUR/month billed annually for five dynamic codes and five landing pages with unlimited scans; Premium is 15 EUR for 100 codes. White Label starts at 35 EUR plus 5 per user and adds a custom scan domain. No monthly billing is available: the minimum term is three months. The August quarterly rates were 6.25/18.75/43.75 EUR. These are documented prices, not tested paid capacity.
The published retention clause lets customers of at least a year with settled invoices request that codes remain active after cancellation. We did not exercise it. Our pricing index separates billing terms and indicative currency conversions.
Custom exports worked, with format limits
The plain 1,584px PNG decoded to the expected short link. Downloaded SVG files, including a template with an embedded logo and frame, decoded after local rendering. RGB and CMYK PDFs contained vector paths and also decoded. The CMYK design looked different from RGB; we have not certified color or graphic fidelity, or tested paper output.
EPS was blocked by this Chrome with ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT. The downloaded DXF was a Cloudflare HTML block page, not usable CAD data. These results do not establish that either format is absent from QR Planet. A newly requested styled PNG was not recovered; the validated PNG is the plain version.
The broader catalogue documents API, CSV bulk generation, webhooks and an MCP server. Those integrations were not exercised. CSV import was accessible but our one-code account had no QR capacity left; that is a Free allowance limit, not evidence that bulk generation is unavailable.
Test limits and sources
This was a Free-account pass. Paid capacity and cancellation, bulk execution, API/MCP, GPS, pixels, history retention and support responses remain untested. Three phone scans validate this specimen and destination; custom-file decoding used Apple Vision on Mac. We did not measure uptime, exact reporting latency or long-term expiry.
October test notes and earlier checks
The original code’s 11 requests reconcile as three pre-existing visits, four simulated browser agents, three real phone scans and one later browser check. The separate card adds one to the global total of 12. Browser visits to a short link can be counted without a physical QR scan, as the visitor help article explains. The bot-filtering article is consistent with our curl exclusion; this was not a broad bot-detection test.
The October pass replaces the earlier “account analytics untested” assessment. Design and analytics now include account observations; ease and transparency reflect the mobile friction and conflicting free cap. The August 28 static/pricing captures and September 29 price check remain historical; no paid feature was freshly verified by using Free.
Verdict
Use QR Planet for free static vector output or one editable link with exportable scan data. Editing, phone access and CSV reconciliation worked in our test. Allow for the account’s lower scan cap, use a larger screen for management and verify your required print format before committing. Our dynamic generators guide compares alternatives and their published cancellation rules.
