ScanMePlz vs Flowcode
Flowcode is design-led: visually distinctive codes and landing pages for marketing teams. Here is how the two compare on the things that decide it — price, limits, and what happens to a printed code when billing goes wrong.
Side by side
| ScanMePlz | Flowcode | |
|---|---|---|
| Free plan | 3 dynamic codes, unlimited static, no scan cap | 2 codes, analytics for up to 500 scans |
| Entry paid price | $4/month | $25/mo (Pro Plus, billed annually) |
| Top published price | $35/month | $250+/yr (Growth) and up |
| Scan recording | Never capped, any plan | Capped on some plans |
| Monthly billing | Yes, every paid plan | No — annual only |
| Code limits | 3 → 25 → 500 → unlimited | 2 → 50 → 150+ |
| Codes if you stop paying | Keep resolving, frozen not disabled — in our Terms | See their terms |
| Static backup export | Yes, on every plan including free | Not offered |
| Custom domain | Included from $12/month | Higher tiers |
Choose Flowcode if
• The best-looking codes in the category, and the design tooling to match
• Landing pages are genuinely good, not an afterthought
• Strong brand presence with large enterprises
• If visual design is the deciding factor, Flowcode earns the look
Choose ScanMePlz if
• You print codes onto things that are expensive to reprint, and you want a written
commitment that they keep resolving if your card fails or you downgrade.
• You do not want scan analytics to stop recording at a threshold.
• You want monthly billing and a price under $15 for a custom domain and API
access.
• You want to be able to export static fallbacks of every code, so the decision is
reversible without reprinting.
Scan analytics are metered, and stop recording at the cap
Flowcode's own pricing page lists "Scan Analytics: up to 500 scans" on Free and "up to 6,000 scans" on Pro Plus. Reporting indicates that on reaching the cap, new scans stop being recorded until the next cycle. The failure mode is quiet and badly timed: a campaign that works better than expected is exactly when the reporting goes dark.

Can I move my Flowcode codes to ScanMePlz without reprinting?
Yes, and you do not have to choose immediately. Point each Flowcode dynamic code at the matching ScanMePlz code's address. Your printed codes still scan, they just route through Flowcode to us. Once you are happy, reprint from the new codes at your own pace — or do not, and leave the chain in place.
What does Flowcode do better?
Genuinely, several things — see “Choose Flowcode if” above. We are not trying to be the best platform for everyone, and pretending Flowcode has no strengths would just tell you this page is not worth reading.
