The Uniqode alternative with free, editable, no-watermark QR codes
Qravio is a strong alternative for an SMB or solo creator who wants genuinely free, editable, watermark-free dynamic QR codes plus simple monthly pricing, rather than committing to an annual enterprise-oriented plan.
Where Uniqode can fall short for small teams
Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac) is an established, polished QR code and digital business card platform aimed at marketing teams and larger organizations.
- No permanent free dynamic tier — QR access is a 14-day trial, and dynamic codes stop working once the trial ends unless you pay
- Only static QR codes stay free forever; static codes can't be edited or retargeted after printing
- Paid plans are billed annually, so there's no true low-commitment monthly on-ramp for a small business
- Custom branded domains sit on higher tiers / as a costly add-on, out of reach for most SMB budgets
- Multi-user team seats are reserved for upper plans; entry tiers are effectively single-user
The three that usually decide it
Where Qravio and Uniqode differ most for a small team.
Moving from Uniqode to Qravio
What happens to the codes you have already printed.
- 1
List which codes are dynamic before the trial ends
Uniqode's free tier is static-only once the 14-day trial expires. A static code cannot be edited, so anything you want to move has to be handled while the trial or a paid plan is still active.
- 2
Rebuild them as Qravio dynamic codes
Qravio's free plan keeps dynamic codes editable indefinitely rather than for a trial window, so this is the part of the move that does not run out.
- 3
Re-point your printed codes while you still have edit access
Set each Uniqode dynamic code's destination to its new Qravio short link. Printed material keeps working and traffic flows to Qravio. Miss the trial window and this option closes: the code is frozen wherever it last pointed.
- 4
Leave the static codes alone
Static Uniqode codes have the destination baked into the pattern, so there is nothing to migrate and nothing that will break. Make the next print run dynamic instead.
What you get on the Qravio side
Scan analytics are included on every plan, free one too — not held back for an enterprise tier.
Where Uniqode is a great choice
Mid-market and enterprise marketing teams that want a mature, well-designed platform with deep analytics, integrations, GS1/retail features, and digital business cards alongside QR codes.
If that describes you, staying put is the right call. The full comparison covers pricing and the rest of the trade-offs.
