Why teams switch from QR Tiger
Custom domain at €12, not $37
QR Tiger locks 'your own domain' behind the $37 Advanced tier. qrlia ships it on the €12 Pro plan. Same feature, ~3× lower price.
Logo-shaped QR — only on qrlia
QR Tiger's designer is colour + centre logo, same as the rest of the market. qrlia's silhouette mask takes your QR and makes it the literal outline of your brand mark. Live demo on /logo-shaped-qr.
MCP gateway — your AI agents can build QRs
Connect Claude Desktop, Cursor, or Zed to qrlia with one Bearer key. Ask in plain English: 'Mint a vCard QR for our new sales rep, brand it with our blue.' QR Tiger doesn't ship anything close.
EU residency by default
Every byte of your scan data lives on Hetzner DE/NL. For European businesses worried about cross-border transfers (or simply wanting their analytics close to home), that's one less procurement question without paying enterprise prices.
Where QR Tiger still wins
We're not pretending qrlia beats them on every axis — here's what they're better at, today.
Track record
QR Tiger has been around since ~2019 and shows up in most 'best QR generator' listicles. We're a 2026 launch. Brand recognition matters in procurement; we're catching up.
