CodeDibs is a QR code platform that lets small businesses, freelancers, and marketing agencies update their codes anytime, without paying a monthly fee to keep them active.
Most QR code platforms tie dynamic QR codes to an active subscription. Stop paying and the codes stop working, which creates a real problem when they're already printed on menus, signage, event materials, or product packaging. CodeDibs takes a different approach. Dynamic QR codes are sold with lifetime access, meaning you purchase once and the code stays active and editable indefinitely. There's no monthly fee keeping them alive, and no risk of losing functionality if your budget changes.
From your dashboard, you can update where any dynamic QR code points at any time. Whether a promotion ends, a link changes, or you need to redirect traffic to a new page, the update takes seconds and your existing printed materials stay relevant. Dynamic QR codes are also fully customizable with your own colors, logo, and text, and support UTM parameters for campaign tracking. Static QR codes are free to create for anyone, and upgrading one to dynamic is a single click whenever you're ready.
For users who want deeper reporting, CodeDibs offers an optional analytics subscription with detailed scan data showing when, where, and how people are scanning. This layer is entirely separate from your purchased dynamic QR codes. Cancelling the analytics subscription, or never subscribing at all, has no effect on whether your codes function.
CodeDibs is built around a simple, transparent model: static codes are free, dynamic QR codes are a one-time purchase, and analytics are optional. No hidden fees, no codes held hostage behind a paywall, and no surprises when a subscription lapses. For any business that relies on printed materials, it's a more durable and cost-effective way to use QR codes.

CodeDibs's answer:
Most QR code platforms tie dynamic codes to an active subscription. Stop paying, and the codes stop working. That's a real problem when they're already printed on menus, signage, or packaging. With CodeDibs, purchased codes are yours permanently. The optional analytics subscription is there for users who want deeper scan reporting, but cancelling it (or never subscribing) has no effect on your codes. Static codes are free, dynamic codes are a one-time purchase, analytics are optional. That's the whole model.

Small business owners, freelancers and marketing agencies who need QR codes.
CodeDibs's answer:
The app is hosted on AWS and the front end is built with React. The marketing site is built on WebFlow.
CodeDibs's answer:
My co-founder and I were tired of seeing all these dynamic QR code platforms where you had to constantly keep paying to retain access and functionality of your QR codes. It just seemed ridiculous, and so we built our own solution to this: CodeDibs.
CodeDibs's answer:
Because the competitors lock you into a never-ending subscription trap, where you constantly need to pay to keep your QR codes functioning and active. Our model offers QR codes with lifetime access by default.
