Context on the Scan Rate Claim
Flowcode markets a "2.5x higher scan rate" based on proprietary research into their circular QR format's visual distinctiveness. This is a design and attention claim — not a QR technology claim. Any well-placed, well-designed QR code from a quality platform scans reliably. The bigger driver of QR campaign performance is usually what happens after the scan: page speed, mobile UX, and offer relevance. QRTRAC focuses its energy there.

Answers to the most common questions when comparing QRTRAC and Flowcode for QR code management.
Flowcode markets its proprietary circular QR code design as producing higher scan rates due to visual distinctiveness. This claim is based on Flowcode's own research. Standard dynamic QR codes from any quality platform — including QRTRAC — scan reliably with modern smartphone cameras. The design of the landing page destination typically has a far greater impact on conversion outcomes than the QR code visual format itself.
Yes. QRTRAC starts around $15/mo and includes unlimited scans and unlimited team members on all plans. Flowcode starts around $25/mo with less pricing transparency. For teams running campaigns at scale, QRTRAC's flat-rate unlimited model typically represents better value than Flowcode's tiered structure.
Flowcode does not have a dedicated nonprofit discount program. QRTRAC offers 50% off for the lifetime of the subscription for verified nonprofits using code NON-PROFIT-50-OFF. This makes QRTRAC a significantly more accessible platform for mission-driven organizations.
QRTRAC provides full design customization including colors, logos, shapes, and branding for QR codes. Flowcode's circular proprietary format is their signature visual differentiator. If the exact circular Flowcode aesthetic is a requirement for your brand, that is Flowcode's unique territory. For all other design customization needs, QRTRAC covers the full range.
Yes. QRTRAC includes GS1, UPC, and EAN barcode generation built into the platform — a capability Flowcode does not offer. For product and retail teams that need both barcode formats, QRTRAC is the only option that handles both in one place.
QRTRAC provides real-time analytics including scan location, device type, operating system, browser, time of day, and campaign performance dashboards. Flowcode offers scan analytics as well, but QRTRAC's analytics depth is designed for operational teams that need detailed reporting across many codes and campaigns simultaneously.
