Same price. Different feature philosophy.
QRCodeChimp ships a lot of small features. qrlia ships fewer, deeper, and more defensible ones. Side-by-side below.

|---|---|---|
| Free tier | 3 dynamic QRs + watermark | 10 dynamic QRs |
| Entry paid plan | €12/mo · unlimited QRs | €6.50/mo Starter · QR-capped |
| 'Pro-equivalent' tier | €12 = unlimited + custom domain + MCP | €13 Pro · feature-tiered |
| Top non-enterprise tier | Team €39 | €32 Ultima — adds white-label + sub-accounts |
| Custom domain | Pro (€12) | Ultima (€32) |
| White-label / sub-accounts | €99/mo SKU (roadmap) | €32 Ultima |
| Logo-shaped QR (silhouette) | Pro feature | Not available |

Why teams switch from QRCodeChimp
Custom domain on the entry paid plan
QRCodeChimp gates custom domain to the €32 Ultima tier. qrlia ships it on €12 Pro. Same brand-on-the-URL benefit, ~2.5× lower price.
MCP and logo-shaped QR — uniquely on qrlia
QRCodeChimp leans into feature breadth — 30+ QR types, lots of small flags. They don't ship a Model Context Protocol gateway, and they don't ship logo-shaped silhouette QRs. Both are baseline on qrlia Pro.
Source-available means no vendor lock-in
Want to self-host? Read the code? Run a copy alongside the SaaS until you trust the platform? QRCodeChimp says no. We say yes — that's the founders' bet.
EU data residency without enterprise contract
We default to Hetzner DE/NL. If your buyer is in Germany / France / Netherlands and procurement is asking 'where does the data live', qrlia answers it without upgrading.
Where QRCodeChimp still wins
We're not pretending qrlia beats them on every axis — here's what they're better at, today.
Bigger free tier and cheaper Starter
QRCodeChimp's free gets you 10 dynamic QRs and the Starter is €6.50/mo. If you only need 5–10 QRs and the watermark is a dealbreaker, they're objectively cheaper.
Wider QR-type library
30+ payload types out of the box (LinkedIn, Calendly, Spotify, Apple/Google reviews, mp3 player, etc.). We have 20+ and prioritise depth on each. If you need exotic types right now, count them on theirs first.
