# 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._

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.

## Where Permanent QR Codes is genuinely good

- Volume pricing that falls to a few dollars a code at 1,000 codes, plus CSV bulk updates and a REST API.
- A 3-day trial with every feature, and a full refund within 28 days of any purchase, with no conditions.
- Print-focused output: SVG, EPS, PDF and 300 DPI PNG files, error correction from L to H, and a quiet-zone check before export.
- A licence you can transfer to another account — useful for agencies handing codes to clients.

## Pricing comparison

|  | QRever | Permanent QR Codes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| One dynamic code | ₹999 / $19, one time | $49, one time |
| A hosted page behind one code | ₹1,999 / $39, one time | $49, one time — pages included |
| Five codes | ₹4,497 / $87, one time | $149, one time |
| 25 codes | ₹19,495 / $385, one time | $499, one time |
| 100 codes | ₹74,990 / $1,490, one time | $999, one time |
| 1,000 codes | ₹7,49,900 / $14,900, one time | $2,500, one time |

_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._

_QRever isn’t the only way to buy a QR code once, and for a plain redirect it isn’t the cheapest — Graklink sells one for $7.99 and OwnQR for $15, and QRCD sells unlimited redirects for $69. Where QRever is the cheapest is the hosted page behind the code: $39 once, against $49 and up elsewhere. Every pay-once option, with prices: https://qrever.com/pricing#pay-once-market_

## 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.

## 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.

## 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.
