A QR Code Monkey alternative for codes you can change and track
QR Code Monkey makes static QR codes. They never expire, but once one is printed you can’t change where it goes or see how many people scanned it. MicroURL’s free plan makes 50 codes a month that you can repoint any time and count scans on.

When QR Code Monkey is the better pick
For a code that will never need to change, like your Wi-Fi password or a permanent address, a static code is all you need, and QR Code Monkey makes one without an account. So does our free generator.
A code on a menu, flyer, sign or package is different: the page behind it changes, and a static code means a reprint every time. That’s what an editable code is for. More on the difference in static vs dynamic QR codes.
What about QR Code Generator PRO?
For editing and scan statistics, QR Code Monkey sends people to QR Code Generator PRO, a paid product. Here’s how MicroURL compares to it.
Codes that keep working
We never switch a printed code off because of a plan, give at least 90 days’ notice before we ever shut down, and let you export your links and clicks any time. The full pledge is on our trust page.
