Comparison
Lynkarr vs Uniqode
Both do codes and digital cards. The difference shows at the two ends: what you can try before paying, and what it costs to put your own name on the thing people scan.
No credit card required.
The short version
See how Lynkarr and Uniqode compare on the essentials.
“We will try the free plan first.”
Theirs makes static codes only — the kind you cannot edit and cannot track — so the thing you would actually deploy is behind the paywall. You are asked to decide before you can find out.
The factTheir pricing FAQ states the generator is free only for static codes, and dynamic codes start at $9 a month. Ours gives two dynamic codes, permanently, with reporting attached.
“We need our own domain on the codes.”
So does anybody putting a code on packaging or signage, where nobody can hover to check where a link goes. It should not be a procurement exercise.
The factTheir FAQ prices a custom domain as a Plus add-on at $2,000 per domain per year. Ours is part of Business at $45 a month, with unlimited domains on Enterprise.
“We need cards for the whole team.”
Then per-seat pricing on top of a plan is the thing to check for. Ours scales with the users you already have rather than adding a second meter.
The factTheir FAQ prices additional card seats at $6 per user per month on a Team plan. Ours includes a card per user on every paid plan at no per-card charge.
Side by side
A detailed look at how Lynkarr and Uniqode stack up.
| Feature | Lynkarr | Uniqode |
|---|---|---|
| Webhooks | On Enterprise: signed with the Standard Webhooks scheme so any off-the-shelf library verifies them, a published retry ladder, and a delivery log with replay. | A list of event types, with no published signature scheme, retry policy or delivery log. |
| Dynamic codes on the free plan | Two dynamic codes, permanently, with scan reporting. | None — their FAQ states the free generator is static-only. |
| Entry price for dynamic codes | Free for 2; $5 a month for 20; $45 a month for an unlimited number. | $9 a month. |
| Mid tier | Business, $45 a month: 10 users, 1 custom domain, unlimited dynamic codes, GS1 Digital Link, bulk import and conversion tracking. | Core, $49 a month. |
| Custom domain | Included in Business at $45 a month; unlimited domains on Enterprise. | Their FAQ: an add-on to Plus at $2,000 per domain per year, or an upgrade to Business+. |
| Digital cards | One card free; a card per user on Starter and two per user on Business, with no per-card charge. | First card free; more seats on a Team plan at $6 per user per month. |
| Analytics after a code is pointed somewhere new | Every destination a code or link has pointed at keeps its own report: scans, visitors, the map, devices and times of day. Each scan is counted under the destination it was sent to, and two destinations can be merged. On Business and above. | A dynamic code's URL can be edited, and QR Code History logs when its design or content was changed. Its help centre describes no scan figures per destination. (docs.uniqode.com, read 7 October 2026.) |
| Contacts, from a scanned badge or business card | A badge or a personal business card is read by AI into a contact record, deduplicated against your existing pool, and tagged with the event it came from. Contacts are on Starter and above; events on Business and above. | Not part of the product. |
| Google Analytics 4 | On Starter, $5 a month — server-side, so it records scans an ad blocker would drop. | On Core, $49 a month. |

Why teams choose Lynkarr

Why Lynkarr
Choose Lynkarr if you want to try the real thing before paying, put your own domain on it without a four-figure add-on, and give every user a card with no separate per-card charge — with the analytics, forms, pages and GS1 support in the same account.
One more thing, and it is a strength rather than a footnote: our analytics identify nobody. No cookies on a scan, no IP address stored, nothing sold. For anybody in healthcare, legal, education or the public sector, that is the answer that gets a tool approved rather than the one that starts a review. The detail is here.
