The problem

Dynamic QR codes depend on a redirect server staying alive. That dependency is real — if the provider shuts down or your subscription lapses, the QR stops working. People who've been burned by 'lifetime' codes that quietly expired want to know exactly what they're committing to before they print thousands of copies.

The fix

QRThis dynamic QRs work as long as your account exists and isn't deleted. Free tier accounts don't expire. Pro accounts ($29 one-time) don't renew or expire. We don't auto-deactivate QRs for inactivity. If QRThis itself ever shut down, we'd provide advance notice and a migration path — but for the foreseeable future, the answer is 'indefinitely.'

What you get

  • Free dynamic QR — works as long as the account is active. Free tier has no expiration, no inactivity timeout.
  • Pro dynamic QRs ($29 lifetime) — one-time payment, no renewal, no annual fee. Same indefinite lifespan.
  • We don't auto-deactivate or expire QRs for any reason. The redirect keeps working until you actively delete it.
  • For mission-critical permanent use cases (monuments, archival), static QRs are safer — no server dependency at all.
