Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know. No surprises.
General
A dynamic QR code lets you change the destination URL after the code has been created and printed. Unlike static QR codes, you never need to reprint if your link changes.
Most QR code platforms lock your codes behind monthly subscriptions; if you stop paying, your codes stop working. CodeDibs uses a one-time purchase model, so your dynamic QR codes stay active forever with no recurring fees.

Static QR codes are free and have a fixed destination URL that can't be changed after creation. They use a basic black and white design. Dynamic QR codes let you update the destination URL anytime without reprinting and include full branding and customization — custom colors, logos, corner styles, framed text, and UTM parameters. Both types support an optional analytics subscription for scan tracking, and static codes can be upgraded to dynamic with one click.
