Permly vs Uniqode
Uniqode is built for businesses with budgets, and the free trial ends with your codes going inactive. For a wedding, a menu or a small business, Permly does the one job for one payment.
This compares editable codes, the kind you can change after printing. Regular codes, where the link is drawn into the picture, are free on both sites and can't stop working anywhere.

When Uniqode is the better choice
You're a company that wants an enterprise QR platform with teams, permissions and analytics.
When Permly is
You're printing something that has to keep working: an invitation, a menu, a sign. You want to be able to change where it sends people later, you'd rather pay once than every month, and you don't want to make an account just to get a simple code. Make a free code, or see the two prices.

- What is an "editable" QR code?
