Frequently asked questions
- Is QRForever a Bitly alternative without a subscription?
- Yes. QRForever is paid once and the licence is for life: dynamic QR codes keep redirecting with no recurring payment.
- Can I migrate my Bitly QR codes to QRForever?
- A printed QR code points to its vendor's link, so it cannot be transferred. Create new codes on QRForever for your next print run and, while you still can, point the old links to the new destination.
- What happens if I stop paying?
- Nothing — there is nothing to stop. QRForever charges no subscription; your dynamic QR codes stay live within the limits of the plan you bought.
