Who each one is for
Scanova is a web platform with tiers that climb by code count: Basic (3 dynamic codes), Lite (10, adds Google Analytics integration and landing pages), Standard (50, adds advanced analytics, bulk operations in batches of 50 and saved design templates), Pro (500, adds exact GPS location, phone support and a custom domain) and Enterprise (unlimited, API, SSO). The pricing page lists them at $5, $9, $35 and $75 a month billed annually, or $15, $50 and $100 billed monthly for Lite, Standard and Pro (Basic is annual only). Ultra Lite is a one-time $150 for a single dynamic code with lifetime validity. Static codes are free forever; dynamic codes are deactivated when the 14-day trial ends.
It suits a marketing team that wants scan data flowing into Google Analytics. QR Studio suits someone who wants unlimited codes at a flat price and a phone in their hand.
Where QR Studio is better
- Price. Pro is $29.99 a year, about $2.50 a month, for unlimited dynamic codes. Scanova’s $5 a month billed yearly buys 3.
- Lifetime for everything. $69.99 once covers all features. Scanova’s one-time Ultra Lite is $150 for one dynamic code.
- Monthly billing. $4.99. Scanova’s monthly billing starts at Lite, $15 a month; Basic is annual only.
- AI design in conversation. Scanova generates AI image codes and “Smart Design” layouts from your logo. QR Studio lets you refine variants in conversation and checks each one for scannability.
- Print-ready PDF from a phone. Scanova’s paid plans download PNG, JPG, SVG, EPS, PS and PDF in a browser, and free static codes download as PNG. QR Studio exports on the phone, with bleed and crop marks on the PDF.
- Offline. QR Studio works without a connection.
- No deactivation cliff. QR Studio’s free tier does not expire.

- Landing pages. Templates and lead capture built in.
- Bulk. Batches of 50, 100 or 500.

Switching
Decode static codes and rebuild them. For dynamic codes, create QR Studio replacements and reprint before the Scanova term ends; Scanova’s pricing FAQ says a dynamic code “will stop working once the free trial ends” and needs a subscription to keep working, so do not cancel first.
