Uniqode is built for enterprise. qrlia is built for everyone else.
If you don't need SOC 2 paperwork to make a QR code, you shouldn't be paying for it. Side-by-side comparison below.

Why teams switch from Uniqode
Custom domain shouldn't cost $99
Uniqode locks white-label and custom domain behind their Plus tier — $99/mo. That's a 7× markup on the same feature qrlia ships at €12/mo Pro. If 'qr.castlegroup.ae' is the only branded domain you need, you don't need an enterprise contract for it.
Logo-shaped QR — Uniqode doesn't ship this at any tier
qrlia's silhouette mask makes the QR take the outline of your logo, not just sit behind it. Uniqode's designer covers colour + centre logo — same as everyone else. We're the only platform with the silhouette mask in production.
MCP — drive your QR fleet from Claude
qrlia exposes a Model Context Protocol gateway so Claude Desktop / Cursor / Zed can create, edit, and pull analytics on your QRs in natural language. Uniqode has REST. We have both.
Source-available beats SOC 2 paperwork (for most teams)
If your buyer is procurement at a Fortune 500, Uniqode's SOC 2 attestation matters. If your buyer is a marketing manager at an SMB, what matters is 'can I read the code, run my own copy, and not get a 2× price hike next renewal'. We pick the second buyer.
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 carries SOC 2, HIPAA, and ISO 27001 today. We don't yet (Type 1 in progress). For regulated healthcare, finance, or US enterprise, that's a procurement-blocker we won't pretend isn't real.
Years of vertical templates
Their landing-page library covers events, restaurants, real estate, packaging — fully fleshed out. We're shipping vertical templates over Q3-Q4 2026; if you need a polished menu page tomorrow, they have it.
