BuildYourQR vs Flowcode. Codes plus landing pages, with a marketing-platform feel.
Flowcode pairs QR codes with its own landing pages and leans towards a marketing platform, with CRM integrations and API access on its growth plans. The free plan allows 2 codes and 500 scans; Pro Plus is $25 a month billed annually for 50 codes and landing pages. If you want codes rather than a platform, BuildYourQR is simpler and cheaper: unlimited dynamic codes for $9 a month, billed monthly.
We make BuildYourQR, so read this with that in mind. Everything we say about Flowcode comes from its own website, checked on . The links are at the bottom. Prices change; check theirs before deciding.

What matters most
Decide whether you need the platform.
Flowcode’s strength is everything around the code: landing pages, collaboration seats and, on its growth plans, CRM integrations and an API. If your team wants to build the page the code opens in the same tool, that’s a real convenience. The free plan is small (2 codes and 500 scans), and Pro Plus is $25 a month billed annually.
If your codes point at pages you already have, like your website, a booking tool or a menu PDF, most of that platform goes unused. BuildYourQR focuses on the codes themselves: unlimited dynamic codes for $9 a month billed monthly, analytics per code, contact cards, and AR video on Pro. Pick based on where your pages live.

Which one?
Pick the one that fits what you’re printing.
You want landing pages and CRM hand-offs in the same tool as your codes.
Your codes point at pages you already have, and you’d rather not pay for a platform around them.

Moving over without breaking anything.
- Leave printed codes alone. Codes already out in the world point at Flowcode’s links, so they keep doing whatever Flowcode does with them. Moving a code means making a new one.
- Start with your next print run. Make the new code in BuildYourQR, point it at the same page, and use it on anything printed from now on.
- Compare the numbers. Keep both running for a few weeks and you’ll see in each dashboard which print is being scanned.
