The downside of a no-card trial
A trial without a card feels comfortable: nothing to enter, no risk of being charged. The downside, documented in QRFY's help center, is that dynamic codes created during the trial are deactivated when it ends and lead to a service page. If you printed flyers or table tents during those 7 days, they stop working on day eight unless you subscribe.
QRTada's trial asks for a card, on purpose: it rolls into the plan you picked after a reminder 2 days before, and cancels in two clicks. If you cancel, trial codes are paused rather than cut off: they show an interstitial page with a button to your destination, and they go back to a direct redirect as soon as you make a first payment.
And after cancelling a paid plan?
QRFY's help center says dynamic codes remain active until the end of the current subscription period, after which you can no longer create, download, edit or view statistics. It does not say whether the codes keep redirecting after that date, so ask the vendor in writing before printing in volume. At QRTada the rule is in our terms of sale: every code created or edited during a paid period keeps redirecting to its last destination with no time limit, even after you cancel. Details on the lifetime guarantee.
When QRFY may suit you
If you only want to play with designs without printing anything, and without handing over a card, a no-card trial is convenient. If you plan to stay subscribed long term and like its interface or templates, it is a valid choice. The watch-out stays the same: do not print trial codes.
Switching providers
- List your codes and destinations from your QRFY account.
- Recreate them in QRTada, one by one or by CSV import on Pro.
- Reprint your materials: a printed code points to the old provider's domain, and no other service can take it over.
- Check each new code with the checker before printing.
If your QRFY codes are already deactivated, the free QR code guide explains your options, and QR code not working helps confirm the cause.

Your codes keep working, even if you stop paying
Every code you create or edit on a paid plan keeps redirecting to its last destination, forever: the guarantee applies from your first payment.
Static codes are included in every plan, and 1 static code stays free without a plan: they rely on no server and never expire.

Can my QRFY codes be moved to QRTada?
No, a printed code points to QRFY's domain. You recreate the codes and reprint.
Why does QRTada ask for a card for the trial?
To limit abuse and make the trial a real start. You get a reminder 2 days before the charge and can cancel in two clicks.
What happens to QRTada codes if I cancel during the trial?
They are paused on an interstitial page with a button to your destination, and reactivated at your first payment. Codes created on a paid plan redirect directly, for life.
