Looking for a Flowcode alternative?
If you use Flowcode and want more routing options, analytics that count every scan, or a cheaper paid plan, CirculateQR is built for that: language and device rules are on every plan, and time, location and A/B rules come with Studio ($12 a month, against $25 a month billed annually for Pro Plus). If Flowcode’s code design, Flowpage, CRM integrations or stated compliance are why you chose it, it may still suit you better.
Flowcode sells a self-serve QR code manager (Free, Pro Plus and Growth plans) and a separate enterprise “conversion platform” sold through its sales team. Facts about Flowcode come from the official sources listed below, checked October 2026; prices and features change, so confirm on Flowcode's official site before you switch.
Why people look for a Flowcode alternative
Each comes from Flowcode's own pages, linked below it. Whether it matters depends on how you use Flowcode.
Downgraded codes can be redirected
Its Terms of Use say that after a downgrade, codes above the Free plan’s limit are archived and redirected to flowcode.com or another location it chooses. An older help article says remaining codes keep scanning.

Analytics are capped by scan count
Free includes analytics for up to 500 scans, Pro Plus 6,000 and Growth (annual only) the first 10,000.

Fewer routing signals
Smart routing by day, device and location starts on Pro Plus. We didn’t find language rules or an A/B split, and a help article says geolocation rules are US-only.
A $25 entry price, and no AI art
Pro Plus is $25 a month, billed annually. Flowcode’s blog describes an AI tool that suggests designs; we didn’t find AI-generated QR art.

What you get with CirculateQR
Matched to those reasons, in order. Plan limits are on the pricing page.
- When a paid plan ends, dynamic codes keep working for 14 days, then pause until you resubscribe. Nothing is deleted, and a one-time $5 unlock keeps any one code live for good.
- Every scan counted on every plan; history is limited by days instead (7 on Free, 90 on Studio, a year on Artisan, unlimited on Stealth).
- Language and device rules on every plan; time, location, scan-count and A/B rules from Studio; weather from Artisan. Location uses the scan’s approximate IP location, with no country restriction or permission prompt.
- Studio at $12 a month, billed monthly, or $115 a year, with 10 AI art credits a month; every AI image is checked with a QR reader.
What you'd give up
Where Flowcode is stronger, or what CirculateQR doesn't offer today.
- A free plan with 2 dynamic codes and no time limit; CirculateQR’s free ones last 14 days unless upgraded or unlocked.
- Flowcode’s patented code look, artist-made designs and Flowpage landing pages with forms, files and storefront blocks.
- Collaboration seats (3 on Pro Plus), stated SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance, and SAML SSO on Enterprise. CirculateQR has no team seats or SSO.
- Integrations such as Mailchimp, Klaviyo and HubSpot. CirculateQR has no native CRM apps; its webhooks work with Zapier or Make.
- CSV bulk creation (50 codes on Pro Plus, 1,000 on Growth). CirculateQR has no CSV upload.

How to switch from Flowcode
A printed dynamic code keeps depending on the provider whose short link it holds; a static code holds its content and depends on no provider. Move in this order:
List what each code opens
Every Flowcode is dynamic, so each printed one runs through Flowcode. Note which open a Flowpage: that content lives on Flowcode and needs rebuilding. Static codes depend on no provider.Rebuild Flowpages in CirculateQR
Recreate each one as a CirculateQR link-in-bio, contact card, form, menu or event page. There’s no importer, so copy the content across.Repoint printed Flowcodes
Flowcode’s pricing lists editing a destination at any time on every plan. While your plan is active, point each code at its new page; scans still pass through Flowcode.Reprint, then downgrade
Its Terms let codes above the Free limit be redirected after a downgrade, so downgrade once old prints are replaced, or confirm with Flowcode first. New CirculateQR dynamic codes rely on CirculateQR’s short link (circulateqr.com/go/…) in the same way; static codes rely on no provider.
Other Flowcode alternatives
These may fit better, depending on what you need.
QR TIGER
The lowest paid entry of the tools we compared ($7 a month for 12 dynamic codes), CSV bulk creation and Zapier and HubSpot integrations.
Uniqode

QR Code Generator
Around 16 landing-page types, team logins and custom short-link domains, part of Bitly; Starter is $9.99 a month billed annually.
QR Code Monkey
Free static codes, if you never need to edit or track them.
Frequently asked questions
What is a good alternative to Flowcode?
CirculateQR for more routing signals, uncapped scan analytics and a lower paid entry; QR TIGER for the lowest price per code; Uniqode for compliance and SSO; QR Code Monkey for static codes. If you rely on Flowcode’s design, Flowpage or CRM integrations, staying may be simplest.
Will my Flowcodes keep working after I switch?
While your plan is active, yes. After a downgrade, its Terms say codes above the Free limit are archived and redirected to flowcode.com or elsewhere; an older help article says remaining codes keep scanning. Replace printed codes first, or confirm with Flowcode.
Can I move a Flowpage to CirculateQR?
Not automatically. Rebuild it as a CirculateQR page, then point your printed Flowcode at it while you reprint with CirculateQR codes.
Is there a Flowcode alternative with language routing and A/B tests?
Yes. CirculateQR routes by phone language on every plan and splits traffic for A/B tests from Studio ($12 a month). QR TIGER routes by language from its Advanced plan. We didn’t find either on Flowcode’s self-serve plans.
