Uniqode alternative: QRTRAC vs Uniqode

By Eshwar Deshmukh · Updated November 1, 2026

· We make QRTRAC

QRTRAC is one of the products compared on this page. Competitor pricing and features come from each vendor's public website; check their sites for current terms.

Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac) is built for larger organizations: it lists SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA and ISO compliance, SSO and dedicated support, on yearly plans. If you need those certifications, it's a strong choice. If you're a small or mid-sized business that mostly needs dynamic codes, analytics and your own domain, QRTRAC does that with monthly billing from $5.

Uniqode is the better fit if

• You need SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA or ISO certification from your QR vendor.
• Your security team requires SSO and MFA on every account.
• You want a dedicated customer success manager.

QRTRAC is the better fit if

✓ You'd rather pay month to month than commit for a year.
✓ You want your own domain on QR codes for $10 a month, not a yearly add-on.
✓ You want every scan tracked, with no scan limits.
✓ You're a nonprofit: verified nonprofits get 50% off for life.

The custom domain question

A custom domain puts your brand in the address people see when they scan, like go.yourbrand.com instead of a shared domain. It's often the reason a team upgrades.

On Uniqode's Plus plan it's a $2,000 per domain per year add-on, and it's included on Business+. On QRTRAC it's included on Business Plus ($49/month), or $10/month on our smaller plans, and it works during the free trial on every plan.

Setting one up takes a single DNS record: see the custom domain guide.

Moving from Uniqode

Uniqode's dynamic codes stop working when a Uniqode subscription lapses, so don't cancel while printed codes are still in use. Create new codes in QRTRAC for new materials, use the bulk generator if you have many, and retire the old ones as their print runs end.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Uniqode HIPAA compliant?

Uniqode lists HIPAA compliance, along with SOC 2 Type 2, ISO and GDPR, on its security page. QRTRAC doesn't claim HIPAA compliance. If your QR codes will handle protected health information, choose a vendor that will sign a business associate agreement with you.

Is there a Uniqode coupon or discount code?

We don't publish Uniqode discount codes. Uniqode offers a 14-day free trial and a 30-day money-back guarantee, so ask their sales team about current offers. QRTRAC's own current offers are listed on our deals page.

Does Uniqode offer a nonprofit discount?

Uniqode's pricing page doesn't list one as of November 2026, so ask their sales team. QRTRAC gives verified nonprofits 50% off every plan for the life of the account.

Is Uniqode the same as Beaconstac?

Yes. Uniqode was formerly called Beaconstac.

How much does Uniqode cost?

As of November 2026, Uniqode's pricing page lists a free plan for static codes, paid plans from $9/month billed yearly, and Core at $49/month. All plans are billed yearly. Check Uniqode's pricing page for current details.

What's the best Uniqode alternative for a small business?

If you don't need enterprise compliance certifications, QRTRAC covers the same everyday needs, dynamic codes, analytics and a custom domain, with monthly billing from $5 and a $10/month custom domain add-on.
