VCTR vs QR Code Generator Pro
QR Code Generator Pro, at qr-code-generator.com, is a dynamic QR code service that Bitly owns and runs as a separate product. It has a 14-day trial instead of a free plan, and its dynamic codes stop redirecting when the trial or subscription ends.[2][1][3][4]
The short answer
When a QR Code Generator Pro trial ends, its dynamic QR codes are deactivated and point to a service page. After a cancellation they keep working for 30 days, then they redirect to a service page too. A VCTR QR Code keeps working whatever happens to your plan, and the Free plan has no time limit.

| Free plan | Free plan with no time limit: 100 active Links or QR Codes, 10,000 Tracked hits a month, 6 months of analytics | No free plan; a 14-day free trial[1] |
| When the trial ends | There is no trial to end: Free keeps working | Dynamic QR codes are deactivated and point to a service page[3] |
| After cancelling | Every Link and QR Code keeps redirecting after a downgrade, an unpaid invoice or a cancelled subscription, on every plan | Dynamic codes work until 30 days after the contract ends, without editing; then the account is locked and they redirect to a service page[4] |
| Dynamic QR codes included | 100 on Free, 2,000 on Pro, 25,000 on Business | 2 on Starter, 50 on Advanced, 250 on Professional[1] |
| Scan limits | Never a cap on scans: past 10,000 Tracked hits a month on Free, scans still redirect as Untracked hits | On Starter, each QR code can be scanned at most 10,000 times[5] |
| Users | 1 on Free, 5 on Pro, unlimited on Business | 1 on Starter, 2 on Advanced, 5 on Professional[1] |
In their own words
“Dynamic QR Codes are deactivated and point to a service page rather than the original destination. Any Static QR Codes in your account continue to work. Your QR Code data is retained but you can't view it until you upgrade.”
“Once the 30 days are over, your account is locked and your Dynamic QR Codes redirect to a service page instead of their original destination.”
At VCTR
A Link keeps redirecting through downgrades, unpaid invoices, cancelled subscriptions and exhausted quotas. It stops only when you delete it, or when we take it down for abuse, and its Code is never given to anyone else. The keep-working promise.
Where QR Code Generator Pro may suit you better
