Where OwnQR is the better choice
- Lower one-time price. OwnQR charges $15 per code; KeepQR’s no-expiry tier is $19.99. If price is the deciding factor and the other differences do not matter, OwnQR is cheaper.
- A useful free starting point. OwnQR’s free redirect codes need no account, can be printed, and can later be upgraded without a reprint.
- Analytics and broader design controls. Its paid code includes scan trends, device and location data, custom colors, frames, and a logo.
- Lower multi-code cost. The five-code pack is $39 once. KeepQR is designed for one simple code at a time and has no pack or bulk-management surface.
- A different continuity promise. OwnQR publishes a five-year post-wind-down redirect pledge. KeepQR publishes its own continuity mechanism, but does not make the same five-year promise.
Where KeepQR wins for your use case
At $19.99, KeepQR costs more than OwnQR’s $15. The reasons to choose KeepQR are trust and privacy, not price:
- No account, no password. Your code is managed from a private link — there is no dashboard login to create or lose, including for destination edits.
- No scan analytics. KeepQR does not build device, location, or trend profiles from people who scan your code.
- No card kept on file after the sale, and no auto-renew, so there is no charge you can forget about.
- Your data is never sold — not for marketing, ads, analytics, profiling, or AI training.
- Self-serve 30-day refund, straight from the management link — no account needed to request it. Both services publish a 30-day policy; KeepQR’s request is built into the management link.
KeepQR’s no-expiry tier stays active for as long as KeepQR operates; we do not promise more than we can honestly keep.
