Uniqode is built for enterprise. qrlia is built for everyone else.
Uniqode brings SOC 2 Type 2, HIPAA and enterprise controls. If you don't need that paperwork to run a QR code, here's the side-by-side.

Why teams switch from Uniqode
Custom domain without a $2,000 add-on
Uniqode's FAQ says a custom domain is available on the Plus plan as an add-on at $2,000 per domain per year, with more domains on Business+. qrlia Pro includes one for €12/mo. If 'qr.yourbrand.com' is the only branded domain you need, you don't need an enterprise contract for it.
Codes that don't switch off when you stop paying
Uniqode's FAQ says dynamic codes go inactive when the trial ends without an upgrade, and when you cancel a subscription. qrlia's Free plan has no end date, and printed codes keep redirecting after you cancel or move to Free.
Logo-shaped QR
qrlia's silhouette mask makes the QR take the outline of your logo, not just sit behind it. Uniqode's pricing page doesn't list an equivalent.
A Claude connector that can build codes, on every plan
Uniqode's MCP connector for Claude needs the Plus plan or above and gives Claude read access, mainly for scan analytics. qrlia's Claude connector works on every plan, including Free, and can create and edit codes as well as report on them.
Where Uniqode still wins
We're not pretending qrlia beats them on every axis — here's what they're better at, today.
Compliance attestations
Uniqode states GDPR, SOC 2 Type 2 and HIPAA compliance today. We don't have those attestations yet. For regulated healthcare, finance, or US enterprise, that's a procurement-blocker we won't pretend isn't real.
Enterprise controls
Uniqode offers single sign-on, Microsoft Entra ID integration on Business+, invoice billing on Business+ and a direct Salesforce integration. If your IT team needs those boxes ticked, their offering is broader than ours today.
