QRever vs Permanent QR Codes

Both sell an editable QR code you pay for once. One is priced for small orders, the other for print runs in the thousands.

Last reviewed November 3, 2026

Permanent QR Codes sells each editable code as a perpetual licence: paid once, no renewal date, no scan or edit cap, and transferable to another account. It is built for things that are printed at scale and stay printed — product packaging, equipment nameplates, manuals and books — and its tooling shows it, with EPS print files, a quiet-zone check before export, CSV bulk updates and a REST API.

Its own comparison of pay-once tools says plainly that QRever costs less for a single code or a small batch. That holds up to 66 codes. Past that, its volume packs fall to a few dollars a code and QRever’s packs don’t, so the answer to “which is cheaper” depends almost entirely on how many codes you’re buying.

Permanent QR Codes’ prices are its published licence packs, in US dollars; for quantities between packs this assumes the cheapest mix. QRever costs less for any order up to 66 codes; from 67 codes up, Permanent QR Codes’ packs cost less, and the gap widens quickly.

The long run

What happens if either company closes

Neither product has a second bill, so neither switches a code off over money. Permanent QR Codes says a paid code is switched off only if you delete it or it breaks its acceptable-use policy, with 30 days’ written notice first unless there’s an imminent legal or security risk.

On closing, its marketing promises more than we do: at least 120 days’ notice, a static fallback mode that keeps every code redirecting to its last destination for 10 years, data export throughout, and a reserve fund paid into from every licence. Its Terms describe the same plan, then add that the section “describes intent and preparation, not a warranty; it doesn’t create obligations beyond what’s written elsewhere in these terms.”

QRever’s numbers are smaller — 90 days’ notice and 5 years of working codes after closure — but its Terms state them as what we will do, not what we intend. Every dynamic code also has a Static Fallback Generator you can use at any time, not only at a shutdown: a plain static QR of the current destination that needs no server. Which matters more, a longer plan or a firmer one, is your call; both are worth reading in full before a large print run.

Choosing

Which one to buy

You don’t need to move codes you already own from either one; they keep working where they are. The decision is about your next order, and it turns mostly on size.

Buy QRever for orders up to 66 codes: it costs less at every quantity below that, and a hosted QR Page costs less than one Permanent QR Codes licence.
Buy QRever if you’re in India and want to pay in rupees, by UPI or card.
Buy Permanent QR Codes for 67 codes or more, or wherever you need an API, EPS files, or licences you can hand to a client’s account.
Buy Permanent QR Codes if you want to try a dynamic code before paying, or want a refund window with no conditions.
For a large run on either, buy one code first, print a proof on the real material, and scan it before ordering the rest.

The verdict

For a restaurant, a shop or an agent buying a handful of codes, QRever costs a fraction of Permanent QR Codes and puts its shutdown promise in firmer words. For a manufacturer labelling thousands of products, Permanent QR Codes’ volume packs, API and EPS files are the better fit. The line between them sits at about 67 codes.
