I generated a QR code on qrcodecreator.com believing it was free. I used it on printed materials for my business. Only afterwards did I discover that the QR was dynamic and would stop working after a 7-day trial unless I subscribed to an expensive annual plan (£11/month for a single code).This was never made clear in the creation process. The information is buried in disclaimers at the bottom of a very long page, not presented when you actually generate your QR code. It feels like a deliberate “dark pattern” designed to mislead.Now I have printed materials with a QR that will be useless unless I pay over £130/year. A basic static QR should be permanent, but they don’t explain that clearly up front.I would strongly advise anyone to avoid this service. Use a free static QR generator instead, or create your own redirect so you stay in control.
