Why Pay the "Enterprise Tax"?
Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac) charges a premium for their brand name. QRLynx focuses on utility and value, giving you the same powerful tools without the confusing tier limits.
Uniqode's Limits
- The "Starter" Trap: Their $5 plan only includes 3 QR codes. Use one for your website, one for Instagram, and one for a flyer, and you're already maxed out.
- Trial Lockout: Features like PDF QR codes often require a free trial that auto-expires, potentially breaking your printed links if you don't pay.
- Complex Upsells: The platform is designed to push you toward expensive enterprise contracts for SSO and SAML integrations.
QRLynx Value
- 50 Codes for $7: To get 50 codes at Uniqode, you'd pay $15/mo. At QRLynx, it's just $7. That's a 53% savings instantly.
- Advanced Analytics: We provide City/Country geolocation and Device OS data on all Pro plans, not just Enterprise tiers.
- Agency Friendly: Manage multiple projects easily with folders and white-label options that make you look professional.

Uniqode Switcher's FAQ
Everything you need to know about switching.
Why is QRLynx a better value than Uniqode (Beaconstac)?
Uniqode is built for large enterprises, and their pricing reflects that. Their 'Starter' plan ($5/mo) is severely limited to just 3 QR codes. To get 50 codes, you have to upgrade to their $15/mo plan. QRLynx gives you 50 Dynamic Codes for just $7/mo—less than half the cost for the same capacity.
Do you have the same security features?
We prioritize security with features like Password Protection (included in Business plans), GDPR compliance, and custom domain white-labeling. You don't need to pay enterprise rates to keep your data safe.
Will my codes expire after a trial?
Never. Unlike Uniqode's free trial which locks your codes after 14 days unless you pay, QRLynx offers a permanently free tier for static codes and transparent paid plans for dynamic ones. We don't hold your data hostage.
Can I manage multiple clients?
Yes! Our Project Folders feature allows you to organize codes by client or campaign, making QRLynx perfect for agencies who find Uniqode's agency plans too expensive.
Technical Breakdown: Secure & Scalable
Uniqode positions itself as the "secure" option for enterprise. And they are excellent tools. But modern security practices—SSL encryption, GDPR compliance compliance, and data redundancy—are standard at QRLynx, not premium upgrades.
Infrastructure Reality
QRLynx runs on a globally distributed edge network (using Cloudflare infrastructure), ensuring your QR codes load instantly whether scanned in New York, London, or Tokyo. This matches the speed and reliability of enterprise competitors.
Data Independence
A key difference is portability. We allow full data exports of your scan logs. We believe you own your campaign data, and you shouldn't be locked into a platform just because you have 5,000 active codes.
