Shopcodes alternative
TrackQr vs Shopcodes: an honest comparison.
Shopcodes is Shopify's own free app for product QR codes, and a fine place to start. TrackQr is for stores that print codes on packaging, flyers and events, and want to know what each code sells. Here is how they differ.
| Shopcodes | TrackQr | |
|---|---|---|
| Made by | Shopify | Nexa Labs (independent developer) |
| Price | Free | Free plan (3 codes), then $9 or $29/month |
| App Store rating | 2.7 / 5 (45 reviews) | New app — no reviews yet |
| What a code can open | Products on your online store | 14 types: product, collection, cart, promo code, store page, URL, Wi-Fi, vCard… |
| Edit the destination after printing | Not mentioned on the listing | Yes — every code is dynamic |
| Logo, colors and frames | Not mentioned on the listing | Yes (Starter) |
| Bulk creation | Not available, according to merchant reviews | One code per product, variant or collection, or from a CSV (Starter) |
| Landing pages with email capture | Not mentioned on the listing | Yes, from the Free plan |
| Sales tracking | Conversions and traffic in Shopify Analytics | Orders, revenue and conversion rate for each QR code (Growth) |

When Shopcodes is enough
- You need a handful of codes that open product pages.
- Shopify Analytics' view of QR traffic is all the reporting you need.
- You won't change where the codes go after printing.
- Plain codes, without your logo or colors, are fine.
When TrackQr is a better fit
- You print codes at scale — packaging, inserts, flyers, events — and need one per product or placement.
- You want to change offers without reprinting, and schedule start and end dates.
- You want a landing page that collects emails, with consent, for a campaign.
- You want orders and revenue per code to decide what to print next.
