QR Tiger is a capable QR-first suite — whose own FAQ says of an expired plan: “it will stop working.”
Yes. Genuinely — go for it. Connect your Cloudflare, create your codes, print everything, then downgrade to Free or cancel entirely. The redirects run in your own Cloudflare account, so every printed code keeps resolving at no cost. Come back if the dashboard ever becomes worth paying for. That is not a loophole — it is the product working as designed.
| QR Tiger | OpenFlareQR | |
|---|---|---|
| Printed short URL | QR Tiger’s short-link domain (custom domains on higher tiers, hosted by them) | qr.yourdomain.com/menu — your domain, your Cloudflare account |
| If you cancel | Their published FAQ states dynamic codes stop working when your plan expires — every printed code goes dark until you resubscribe | Every printed code keeps resolving on your Cloudflare, free |
| Redirect infrastructure | QR Tiger's servers | A small open worker in your Cloudflare account |
| Scan limits | Scan caps on lower tiers | Unlimited scans on every plan |
| Analytics data | Their dashboard, their storage | Stored in your Cloudflare account; we just draw the charts |
| Exit path | Printed codes are bound to their redirect service | Export everything anytime + public runbook |
Behaviour on plan expiry per QR Tiger’s published FAQ as of Aug 2026 — always check their current terms.
QR Tiger hosts content types we deliberately don’t: file QR codes, hosted vCard pages, landing-page builders. If you need the destination itself hosted for you — not just the redirect — a hosted suite fits better. Our lane is codes that point at pages you already have.
