API access shouldn't cost $249

Most QR SaaS treat the API as an enterprise upsell. We don't.

Bulk endpoint

POST /api/v1/generate/bulk/ takes an array, returns a ZIP + manifest.json. 50/batch on Starter, 5000 on Agency.

Dynamic QRs

Encode a short URL you control. Edit destination at any time. Scan analytics with country, device, referer.

600 DPI for print

Up to 4500×4500 PNG (15″ at 300 DPI) or scalable SVG. Stickers, posters, billboards — actually scannable.

Custom logos, clean

Logo gets a real clear-zone, not just plopped on top. Neon-alpha mode strips dark backings off neon brand assets.

7 data types

URL, vCard, Wi-Fi join, mailto, SMS, geo, plain text. The API formats correctly so every scanner offers the right action.

API keys + JWT

Hashed SHA-256, plan per key, monthly quotas, audit log on every call. Production-grade auth.

5 dynamic QRs free. No card. Forever.

When you outgrow it, $7/mo unlocks 500 generations + 10 dynamics + bulk + REST API.
