Own your QR codes. Don’t rent them.
Give each code its own scan budget with a one-time, 12-month pack—no subscription, no recurring charges. Extend anytime, with editable destinations and real-time analytics included.
Buy a code its own runway.
This is the part no subscription gives you. A standalone pack is a one-time purchase you attach to a single code — its own scan budget (1K–1M) on a fixed 12-month term. The code redirects to your destination until its scans or its term run out, whichever comes first, and it keeps working past cancellation. Micro-manage spend code by code: give your money-makers a bigger scan budget, keep throwaways cheap, and top a code up with another pack only if and when you want to. One-time buys, never a subscription.
Set it and forget it. It refuels itself.
Reserve a standalone pack against a code and it tops itself up the moment its scan cap or term is reached — the reserved pack applies automatically, with no lapse and no manual step. Setting up or cancelling a reservation never charges.
Out of runway? Still not a dead link.
When a pack’s scans or time run out, the code is marked archived — it stops pointing to your destination, but it isn’t deleted. Instead of a dead 404 it falls back to a simple GlyphIQ page that carries one contextual ad, and that ad is what pays to keep the code in the system. It stays reactivatable for as long as people keep scanning it: attach a new pack and it points back at your destination. This archived page is the only place GlyphIQ ever runs an ad, and the banner says so.
Three steps. The code never has to change.
Create a branded code, change where it points whenever reality changes, and watch scans land in real time — privacy-first, country-level, with no scanner profiling.
See every scan. Profile nobody.
Real-time numbers that matter — total scans, unique visitors, devices and country-level location — with no raw IPs, no cookies on the scan path, and no scanner profiling.
One code, wherever it needs to live.
Menus, packaging, events, business cards, real estate — point a printed code wherever it needs to go, and change it later without reprinting.
Never be held hostage by a renewal again.
Rented codes share one fate: the day you stop paying, every code you printed goes dark at once. Standalone packs break that. Buy a code its own scan budget up front and it keeps reaching your destination for a fixed 12-month term — whether or not you keep a plan. You decide which codes deserve a budget.
Privacy and safety, built into the scan path

Pay only for the codes that matter.
Standalone packs are how GlyphIQ is meant to be used — buy a code its own runway, with no recurring bill. Prefer a monthly plan? Those are here too, further down.
One code. Its own runway. Bought, not rented.

Frequently Asked Questions About QR Codes
A dynamic QR code stores a short redirect URL instead of your final destination. This means you can change where it points at any time — without reprinting the code. GlyphIQ lets you create, update, and track dynamic QR codes from a single dashboard.
Yes. A standalone pack is a one-time purchase you attach to a single code, so that code runs without any active subscription. You pick a scan budget (1,000–1,000,000 scans) and it keeps redirecting for a fixed 12-month term, even after you cancel. There is no monthly fee and GlyphIQ never auto-charges your card; if you want a code to keep going on its own, auto-extend applies a pack you have already bought. It is the paid-but-subscription-free way to run an editable, trackable QR code.
Yes. With a dynamic QR code from GlyphIQ, you can change the destination URL as many times as you need. The printed code stays the same — only the redirect target changes. This works for flyers, packaging, business cards, and any other printed material.
Static QR codes don’t expire because the URL is encoded directly into the image — there’s no service to fail. Dynamic QR codes need a service, and on a subscription they stop working when the plan ends. GlyphIQ is different: standalone packs let you keep specific dynamic codes alive past cancellation, for the scans you bought on a fixed 12-month term, with no recurring charges; auto-extend can keep a code going automatically from packs you have already bought.
GlyphIQ provides real-time scan analytics for every dynamic QR code. You can see total scans, unique visitors, device types, geographic location, and referral sources. Analytics are available on Starter and Pro plans with 30-day and 90-day history respectively.
Without an active plan or a standalone pack, your dynamic codes pause and scanners see a "code deactivated" page. With a standalone pack attached, that specific code keeps redirecting for a fixed 12-month term and the scans you bought (up to 1,000,000 scans), even after cancellation. You can apply a pack at cancellation time to keep specific codes alive — no recurring charges, just the runway you paid for, and auto-extend can continue a code automatically from packs you have already bought.
A standalone pack is a one-time purchase that attaches to a single QR code. You pick a scan budget (1,000 to 1,000,000 scans) and the code runs for a fixed 12-month term — it keeps redirecting until its scans or its term run out, whichever comes first, even after you cancel your subscription. Packs start at $3 and GlyphIQ never auto-charges your card — you only pay for the scan budgets you choose. If you want a code to continue on its own, auto-extend applies a pack you have already bought.
Yes — it is called auto-extend. Reserve a standalone pack you have already bought against a specific code, and the moment that code reaches its scan cap or its term ends, the reserved pack applies automatically — its scans and a fresh 12-month term roll forward with no manual step and no lapse. Setting up a reservation never charges, and neither does cancelling before it triggers. If the reserved pack is ever unavailable when the trigger fires, the code is archived and we email you so you can reattach a pack and bring it back.
A static QR code encodes the destination URL directly — it cannot be changed after creation. A dynamic QR code points to a short redirect URL that you control, so you can update the destination anytime. Dynamic codes also enable scan tracking and analytics.
Yes. GlyphIQ offers a free static QR code generator — no signup, no account, full customization, PNG + SVG export — and static codes never expire because the URL is encoded directly into the image. What a free static code can’t do is change its destination after printing or track scans; for an editable code with real-time analytics you move to a dynamic code, on a paid plan or with a standalone pack.
Yes. GlyphIQ supports full QR code customization including logo overlay, custom dot shapes, corner styles, and brand colors. All customization options are available on every plan. Codes are generated client-side for instant preview.
Create QR codes you actually control.
Cancel anytime, and keep the codes that matter with a one-time pack.
