Comparison
HueQR vs Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac)
Facts about Uniqode read from their site on October 16, 2026. No prices quoted for Uniqode, because they change. Updated October 16, 2026.
The short answer
Uniqode is built for teams and enterprises, with seats, integrations and a custom domain as an add-on on its upper tiers. Its pricing page is unusually clear about two things: plans are yearly only, and dynamic codes become inactive when the trial expires or when you cancel. HueQR takes the opposite position on both. You can pay monthly, and when you cancel, every code keeps redirecting for 30 days and then shows a paused page, with Keep-alive at $3 a month if you want them to keep working.
Where Uniqode is strong
- Team features: seats, roles, integrations, digital business cards.
- A free plan for static codes and a 14-day trial of everything else.
- Clear, written policies on their pricing page, which is rarer than it should be.
Where HueQR stands out
- Monthly billing on every Pro plan. No yearly commitment to get started.
- Codes keep redirecting for 30 days after you cancel, then show a paused page. Nothing goes dark the day you stop.
- Your own domain included in Pro, not an add-on.
- Free static codes with the full design studio and no watermark.
