Built Truly Free QR after a restaurant client called me panicking all his printed table menus had dead QR codes overnight. His generator had deactivated them after a 14-day trial and wanted $156/year to reactivate. Menus already printed, no choice.
Turns out this is standard practice. The top QR generators all do it.
Generate dynamic QR codes that never expire — free forever. No account, no subscription, no credit card. Real-time analytics, SVG export, and Safe-Scan protection included. Most QR generators offer "free" dynamic codes, then deactivate them after 14 days unless you pay $111–$180/year. Truly Free QR fixes this permanently.
