If you searched “Beaconstac alternative”, you're likely comparing a dynamic QR platform with a simpler (often free) static QR generator. The right answer depends on whether you need editability and analytics.

Start with the “static vs dynamic” question#

Read: Static vs Dynamic QR codes. If you need a redirect you can update later, start with Dynamic QR.

If you don’t need dynamic#

  • Use a static QR for maximum reliability.
  • Download SVG for crisp print (cards, posters, packaging).
  • Use short, stable destinations (see short URL strategy).

If you do need dynamic#

  • Use a redirect short link so you can update the destination later.
  • Plan for operational needs: access control, who holds the edit key, and how you handle redirects long-term.
  • Add UTMs for attribution (guide: UTM tracking for QR).

Fast path with QRFlow#
