ME-QR

Overview

ME-QR combines a dynamic QR code generator with an admin panel for managing code content and scans. It is best suited to people and teams running campaigns that may need updates, bulk creation, or scan tracking. Its central advantage is unlimited scans and code lifetime on every plan; ads and tier-specific creation limits are the main trade-offs.

Key features

ME-QR lets users edit code content after creation, customize designs, add password protection, and make disposable codes. Editing is valuable when a printed destination may change, while password protection and disposable codes suit access-controlled or short-lived uses. Bulk creation is useful for campaigns that require many codes, though the plan quotas make the scale of that work a pricing consideration.

Scan statistics and an email after each scan help users follow activity. Free keeps one year of analytics history, while paid tiers extend it to three years. The integrations include Canva, Shopify, ChatGPT, HubSpot, Gmail, Monday.com, Trello, Zapier, Zoho, and ClickUp, giving marketing, commerce, design, and operations teams several ways to connect their workflows.

The API supports programmatic QR creation. Free access provides three API keys that expire after three days; Premium includes unlimited keys. Requests are limited to about one per second and 50 per minute, and usage pricing includes up to 10,000 QR codes per month. Those limits make the API more appropriate for bounded integrations than a high-throughput service.

ME-QR has Android and iPhone apps for QR creation, scanning, and management; the iPhone app also supports editing content and customizing designs. The company describes privacy practices developed with GDPR, UK GDPR, CCPA, and several Canadian privacy laws in mind. Its QR analytics process scan timestamps, frequency, referral URLs, device and browser details, and approximate location derived from IP addresses. Support is available by email and chat.

Pricing

The Free plan costs 0.00 USD and is free forever. It allows 10,000 created QR codes, unlimited scans and code lifetime, one year of analytics history, and 100 MB of storage. Codes display ads and there is no API integration. It is a substantial starting tier for personal or smaller campaigns, but ads may be unsuitable for public-facing brand use.

Lite costs $10.50 a year, billed at $10.5 / month yearly. It raises the creation allowance to 100,000 codes and extends analytics history to three years, while retaining unlimited scans and code lifetime and 100 MB storage. Only one QR code is ad-free, and there is no API integration. This fits users who need more capacity and longer history but can accept ads on most of their codes.

Premium costs $15.08 a year, billed at $15.08 / month yearly. It allows 1,000,000 created codes, offers three years of analytics history, 500 MB storage, ad-free codes throughout, and API integration; scans and code lifetime remain unlimited. It is the clearest fit for larger campaigns or teams that need the API, though its request limits still matter for automated workflows.

Platforms

ME-QR is available on web, Android, and iOS, with an API for programmatic creation. The company is based in London and says ME TEAM LTD was founded in 2021.

Who it's for

ME-QR suits individuals, marketers, e-commerce teams, designers, and operations groups that need editable dynamic codes, scan analytics, or bulk generation. It is less suitable when every code must be ad-free at no cost, when a workflow needs API integration on the Free or Lite plan, or when API request volume exceeds its stated limits.

Pros and cons

• Pro: Unlimited scans and code lifetime on Free remove ongoing scan and expiry caps for long-running codes.
• Pro: Editable codes, bulk creation, and scan analytics support campaigns that need updates and monitoring.
• Pro: Premium combines API integration, ad-free codes, and a one-million-code allowance.
• Con: Free codes display ads, which can undermine a polished branded experience.
• Con: Lite makes only one code ad-free and does not include API integration.
• Con: Free API keys last just three days, and the API request limits may constrain high-volume automation.

Alternatives

For a broader comparison, see the QR Code Generator Software category. Build QR is another freemium option for readers comparing a different mix of dynamic and static code allowances. QR TIGER may suit readers who want a free tier centered on static codes plus a limited number of dynamic codes. The QR Code Generator is worth considering for a free plan with two dynamic codes and 14 days of analytics. Zint Barcode Generator is a free, open-source barcode generation project for readers who prefer that model. Uniqode is an alternative for readers focused on digital business-card sharing and wallet support. ArborQR is a web-based alternative with a free tier for five static codes. BulkQR.io is a free web option for batch creation, with a stated monthly quota. Flowcode is another freemium option with a free tier capped at two Flowcodes and 500 scans of analytics.

Verdict

Choose ME-QR for campaigns that need editable codes, unlimited ongoing scans, analytics, and bulk creation, especially if Premium’s ad-free output and API integration suit the workflow. Look elsewhere if ads are unacceptable on a free plan, if a single ad-free code is not enough on Lite, or if your API use needs more throughput than its request limits allow.
