Choose by the operating model

Choose QRLynx when the priority is 3 free dynamic QR codes, free AI-assisted analytics, 61 QR types, lower Pro and Business pricing, advanced routing and security controls, a 10-member workspace, API creation, or Enterprise QR operation.

Choose Kaywa when the priority is EPS artwork on the entry paid plan, Kaywa’s long operating history, its custom-made design service, its established location and device reporting, or its Premium+ custom URL and multiple-URL workflow.

Compare the operating thresholds. Count dynamic codes, analytics history, users, file formats, API needs, bulk volume, custom URLs, multiple-destination routing, and the controls required for each campaign.

Test a real code. Create a dynamic URL QR, scan it from several devices, change the destination, inspect analytics, export the required print format, and test team, API, or bulk workflows where those capabilities matter.

Moving an existing Kaywa campaign

An existing Kaywa dynamic QR keeps the Kaywa redirect URL encoded in its printed pattern. Moving to QRLynx creates a new managed QR pattern, so start with digital placements, source files, or campaigns entering a new print run.

Export the destinations and analytics you want to retain. Create matching QRLynx dynamic codes, apply the design, test each route and artwork file, and replace the QR image in digital assets and future print materials. Kaywa history remains in Kaywa, while QRLynx starts a new analytics timeline from the replacement code’s first scan.
