Compare
An honest, sourced comparison - pricing, custom domains, and what happens the day a plan expires.
QR Hero and QR TIGER are priced close together at the entry tier, so the real difference shows up as you grow. QR TIGER caps a custom domain at one per account even on its top Premium plan, while QR Hero scales from 1 domain on Starter up to 10 on higher tiers. QR TIGER also gates access at plan expiry rather than mid-cycle, so a lapsed plan can pause the whole account - QR Hero lets you choose the overage behavior instead of an all-or-nothing cutoff.
Every row below is sourced and dated - see the footnote.
| QR Hero | QR TIGER | |
|---|---|---|
| Entry-tier price | €24/mo (Business, includes a custom domain) | $7/mo (Regular, billed annually), but no custom domain until a higher tier |
| Custom domain | Scales with your plan: 1 domain on Starter, up to 10 on higher tiers | Available from Regular+, but capped at 1 domain per account even on the $37/mo Premium tier |
| If a plan lapses or expires | You choose hard-stop, auto-upgrade, or pay-per-use - never a silent break | Access gates at plan expiry rather than mid-cycle, which can pause the whole account at once |
| Scan allowance | Unlimited scans from Business up, printed codes never hard-capped | Unlimited scans on paid tiers, but the free plan caps at 3 codes and 500 scans per code |
| Agency / white-label | Multi-tenant Organization → Brand model, built into every plan from day one | Available on Premium, QR TIGER's top tier |

QR TIGER is a solid, well-priced dynamic QR code tool, and at the entry tier its annual pricing can beat QR Hero on sticker price alone. The gap opens up around two things: how many custom domains you can actually run, and what happens the day a plan lapses.
On domains, QR TIGER caps every account at one custom domain, even on its top $37/mo Premium tier - so an agency or multi-brand team hits that ceiling immediately. QR Hero scales domains with the plan itself, from 1 on Starter up to 10 on higher tiers, with no separate domain add-on to buy. On renewals, QR TIGER gates the account at plan expiry, which can affect access all at once - QR Hero instead lets you choose the overage behavior yourself, well ahead of any renewal date.
As you scale, Custom domains that grow with your plan instead of capping at one pair naturally with Agency & multi-brand management for teams juggling more than one brand from a single account.
At the very entry level, QR TIGER's $7/mo annual Regular plan undercuts QR Hero's €24/mo Business tier on price, but Regular doesn't include a custom domain. Once you need more than one, QR Hero is cheaper overall: QR TIGER caps a domain at one per account on every tier, while Business includes one outright and scales up from there.
Not currently - QR TIGER's published plans cap a custom domain at one per account regardless of tier, including its top $37/mo Premium plan. QR Hero scales custom domains with your plan, from 1 on Starter up to 10 on higher tiers, so teams running multiple brands or campaigns don't have to work around a single shared domain.
QR TIGER gates access at plan expiry rather than mid-cycle, which can affect the whole account at once rather than degrading gradually. QR Hero instead lets you pick the overage behavior in advance - hard-stop, auto-upgrade, or pay-per-use - so you control what happens well before a renewal date arrives.
Not the physical ones already printed - a printed QR code encodes QR TIGER's redirect domain directly, so an already-printed code can't be re-pointed to different infrastructure. What you can do is print any new codes through QR Hero from your own domain going forward, so this is the last migration you have to plan for reprints around.
Your first dynamic code is live in minutes, on your own domain.
