# QRever vs Beaconstac

_Beaconstac (now Uniqode) is built for enterprise teams on annual contracts. QRever is built for everyone else — pay once, keep your codes._

Beaconstac — now rebranded as Uniqode — is an enterprise-grade QR platform with bulk creation, an API, team management, retail and GS1 features, and serious support. If you’re a large organisation that needs all of that and has procurement to handle an annual contract, it’s a comprehensive choice.

Most people printing a QR code are not that organisation. They want a code on a menu, a card, or a product that simply keeps working — without seats, tiers, or a subscription. QRever gives them editable, trackable codes and hosted QR Pages for a single payment, never deactivated.

## Where Beaconstac is genuinely good

- Enterprise features: bulk creation, API, and team/seat management.
- Retail, packaging, and GS1-oriented tooling plus integrations.
- Dedicated support and onboarding aimed at large deployments.

## Pricing comparison

|  | QRever | Beaconstac |
| --- | --- | --- |
| How often you pay | Once | Annual / per seat |
| Entry dynamic QR code | ₹999 / $19, one time | Paid plan, billed recurring |
| Three codes, over three years | ₹2,499 / $49, one time | ≈$540 — Starter, $15/mo × 36 |
| Ten dynamic codes | ₹7,499 / $149, one time | Higher plan, billed recurring |
| What you owe in year three | Nothing more | Still paying every cycle |
| If the contract lapses | Codes keep working | Dynamic codes stop redirecting |

_QRever prices are one-time and shown in full. Beaconstac / Uniqode pricing is a recurring subscription that changes over time — check their site for current rates. The three-year figure is their cheapest plan that supports three editable codes, at rates verified August 2026, and assumes no price rise. Comparison last reviewed August 2026._

## What happens when you stop paying

Beaconstac’s codes live inside a subscription, often an annual one tied to seats or code counts. When a contract isn’t renewed — a budget cut, a tool consolidation, a team change — the dynamic codes the company printed stop resolving. At enterprise scale, that can mean thousands of dead codes in the field at once.

QRever’s model avoids that single point of failure. Each code is bought outright and is never deactivated for billing. Every paid code carries a one-click export and every dynamic code a Static Fallback Generator, and if QRever ever closed, every active paid code would keep working for at least 5 years — so the destination is portable and survives independently of us.

## The pay-once market

Subscriptions are not the only thing QRever competes with. A small pay-once market exists, and it is the fairer comparison — those products make the same promise QRever does, so the question stops being “rent or buy” and becomes “which one to buy”.

QRever is not the cheapest way in. One permanent dynamic code costs $19 here, against $15 at OwnQR — and $150 at Scanova, the most expensive.

Where QRever is the cheapest is the page behind the code. A QRever QR Page — a menu, business card, links, event or reviews page, hosted and editable — costs $39 once. Of the other products here, only Lifetime QR Codes and Permanent QR Codes host a page behind a code, from $49.

| Product | One-time price | Hosted page | What it buys |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| OwnQR | $15 | No | One editable redirect code; five-code pack available |
| QRever (this product) | $19 | Yes | One permanent dynamic code, unlimited scans; a hosted QR Page is $39 |
| Lifetime QR Codes | $49 | Yes | One permanent code, page types included; volume discounts from 3 codes |
| Permanent QR Codes | $49 | Yes | One permanent code, page types included |
| QRCD | $69 | No | Unlimited dynamic redirect codes |
| Scanova | $150 | No | One lifetime dynamic code; landing-page types excluded |

On price alone, a plain redirect code is cheaper elsewhere. OwnQR charges $15 for one code and $39 for five, less than QRever at any quantity, and QRCD’s $69 buys unlimited codes, which undercuts QRever from five codes up. Both sell redirects only. If the code just needs to point at a website you already run, either costs less; QRever earns its price when the code needs a page of its own, which neither of them hosts.

_One-time prices as each vendor lists them, in US dollars, for a single permanent dynamic code unless the scope column says otherwise. QRever also prices in rupees (₹999) for buyers in India. Volume tiers, where a vendor publishes them, are not reflected in the entry price shown. Competitor prices verified 2026-09-14._

## Verdict

Choose Beaconstac / Uniqode if you’re an enterprise that genuinely needs seats, bulk, an API, and a support contract. Choose QRever if you want the same never-expiring outcome without the contract — a code you pay for once and keep, with no scan limits and no renewal to forget.
