CirculateQR vs QR TIGER
QR TIGER is the better fit if you want the most dynamic codes for the money, a long menu of QR types, CSV bulk creation and integrations like Zapier and HubSpot. CirculateQR is the better fit if you want each scan to be smarter: rules that combine device, time, day, language, location, weather and scan count with A/B splits, AI art that’s checked to scan, and hosted pages for ordering, ticketed registration, loyalty cards and games.
QR TIGER (qrcode-tiger.com) is a dynamic QR code generator with a freemium plan, paid plans for individuals and businesses, and an enterprise edition. Information checked October 2026; prices and features change, so confirm on QR TIGER's official site before you decide.

Where each one is stronger
Where QR TIGER is stronger
- A low entry price: Regular is $7 a month with 12 dynamic codes and unlimited scans.
- A free plan with 3 dynamic codes and no time limit (500 scans per code).
- A long list of QR types, including Apple and Google Wallet vCards, GS1 codes and a landing-page builder, plus separate ordering-menu and form products.

Where CirculateQR is stronger
- Rules that combine conditions: one CirculateQR rule can require several at once, such as iPhone and evening, and a code can have many rules. QR TIGER’s multi-URL codes take one condition type per code.
- Device and weather routing and percentage A/B splits, which aren’t among QR TIGER’s multi-URL conditions.
- Routing on lower-priced plans: device and language rules on the free plan, time, location and A/B rules from Studio ($12 a month), and every rule type including weather from Artisan ($39 a month); QR TIGER’s multi-URL codes start on Advanced at $16 a month billed annually.
- AI artwork that’s decoded with a QR reader and repaired when the art breaks the code.
- No popup on scans of free link codes: they go straight to your link.
- Loyalty stamp cards, scratch cards and scavenger hunts as hosted pages.
Frequently asked questions
Is QR TIGER free?
QR TIGER has a free plan with 3 dynamic codes, 500 scans per dynamic code and unlimited static codes. Scans of free codes show a QR TIGER logo popup, which paid plans remove.
Do QR TIGER codes stop working if I stop paying?
QR TIGER’s FAQ says dynamic codes have unlimited scans with a valid subscription and stop working if the plan expires, and that data is kept for up to a year so you can reactivate. Its homepage says dynamic codes have no expiry, so check with QR TIGER before relying on either.
Does QR TIGER have AI QR codes?
We didn’t find an AI QR art generator on QR TIGER’s site; its AI features are an analytics chat on higher plans. CirculateQR generates AI scene art and checks every image with a QR reader.
Does QR TIGER have A/B testing?
Not as a built-in split. QR TIGER suggests using its scan-count redirect to send traffic to different pages. CirculateQR has an A/B split rule that sends a set percentage of scans to each link.
Which is cheaper?
QR TIGER is cheaper to start: Regular is $7 a month for 12 dynamic codes. CirculateQR’s Studio plan is $12 a month with 100 QR credits a month. For routing, QR TIGER’s multi-URL codes start on Advanced ($16 a month billed annually); CirculateQR includes time, location and A/B rules on Studio ($12 a month) and every rule type, including weather, on Artisan ($39 a month).
Sources and method
We read QR TIGER's public pages in October 2026. We didn't sign up for paid plans, so features that sit behind a login or a sales call are described only as far as their public pages go. CirculateQR facts come from our own plan configuration and product. If something here is out of date, email support@circulateqr.com and we'll fix it.
