An alternative to Uniqode

Uniqode at uniqode.com, formerly known as Beaconstac, sells QR codes and digital business cards to businesses on annual plans, with a free trial.

This page sets out what Uniqode says about its trials, plans, cancellations and refunds, in its own words where possible, with a link to each source. We've tried to be accurate and fair. If you spot something out of date, please tell us at contact@tps505.com and we'll correct it.

Facts change. Everything below was checked against Uniqode's own website in October 2026. Prices and policies may have changed since. Always check uniqode.com before you decide.

How KeepQR is different

KeepQR makes the same two kinds of code, but sells them differently:

  • Static codes are free and need no account. They contain your link directly and work forever.
  • Editable codes cost £4.99 once, or £19 for 10, with VAT included. There's no trial and no subscription.
  • No scan limits. A busy code works the same as a quiet one.
  • Never deactivated for non-payment, because there's no ongoing payment. Codes are only disabled for abuse.
  • 14-day refund, no questions asked, and the code keeps working after the refund.

KeepQR does less than the big platforms. There are no landing-page builders, team accounts or detailed analytics, just codes that keep working and simple daily scan counts. If you need those extra features, a subscription service may suit you better. If you just need a code you can print and forget, see how KeepQR works or read our promise.

If you already have codes with Uniqode

A dynamic code made with Uniqode contains a short link on their domain, and only they can control where it goes. No other provider can take it over. If you want to switch, you'll need to make new codes and replace the printed ones, usually as you reprint. Our guide to fixing a QR code that stopped workingexplains how to do this with the least reprinting.
