Comparison

Beaconstac alternative for teams tired of plan pressure

Beaconstac (Uniqode) is built for larger QR programs. If you want the same outcome — trackable, brandable codes — without paying rent on every printed asset, QRtistry keeps static free and dynamic as a one-time purchase.

  • No account required for static PNG/SVG
  • $9 dynamic codes with analytics and hosted pages
  • Agency plan for API, webhooks, and team seats

Platform pricing vs. print reality

Enterprise QR platforms price for multi-location programs. Solo operators and small restaurants often only need codes that scan and occasionally update. When the bill is really “don't brick the menus,” a simpler model wins.

How to switch

  1. Step 1

    Inventory live campaigns

    List which codes must keep working through the next print cycle versus which can wait.

  2. Step 2

    Cut over high-traffic prints

    Recreate those destinations in QRtistry — static for fixed URLs, dynamic when you'll swap specials or track scans.

  3. Step 3

    Use Agency only if you need it

    API, webhooks, custom domains, and seats are on the Agency plan — not required for a single menu code.

FAQ

Is this a drop-in Beaconstac migration?

You can't port their short links. You recreate destinations and reprint (or sticker) the physical codes. Plan the cutover around your next print run.

Do you support multi-location analytics?

Dynamic codes include geo and device analytics. Campaigns and Agency tools help teams compare placements.

What about API access?

REST API, signed webhooks, and the API playground ship with Agency.
