ForeverQR vs subscription QR code services
The whole reason ForeverQR exists: most dynamic QR services rent you the redirect. Stop paying and the code you printed on 5,000 boxes stops working. We sell the code once. Here is the honest side by side, including the part that isn't in our favour.

The part we won't dress up
No company can guarantee it will exist forever. What we can commit to is that while ForeverQR is in business and financially able to operate, we will not switch off a code you paid for just because you didn't buy more. If we ever couldn't operate, your export is already in your hands — and a static code never depended on us at all.
