Bitly Alternativa: Platforma QR kódů, Ne zkracovač odkazů, který přidal QR
Changing where a code points is capped at 5 edits a month on Bitly's $10 Core plan, 20 on Growth, and 110 on Premium at $199. That is the one operation a dynamic code exists to perform. Pageloot does not count it.
Code creation is metered the same way, 2 a month on Free, 5 on Core, 10 on Growth, 200 on Premium. A print run of 30 codes takes 6 months on Core, or $2,388 a year on Premium. Pageloot Starter is a 15-code library for $84 a year, with no monthly creation quota.
Příběh QR kódu Bitly
Zdroje: 8. G2 · 7. Trustpilot · Capterra · QR Code Generator Pro Trustpilot. Review counts checked August 2026.
Bitly je jednou z nejuznávanějších značek na internetu. Since 2008 it has been the default link shortener for millions of marketers. The QR code feature came later, and the packaging shows it. QR creation is metered by the month at every tier: 2 on Free (with ads), 5 on Core ($10/mo), 10 on Growth ($29/mo), and 200 per month on Premium at $199/mo, which is $2,388 a year (all prices verified August 2026). Even Premium's 200 is a monthly creation quota, not a total library.
Bitly také vlastní QR Code Generator Pro (Egoditor GmbH, Germany), the platform at qr-code-generator.com. Its Trustpilot page showed 9,220 reviews averaging 1.5 stars as of the original audit, and its Starter plan includes just 2 dynamic codes at $9.99/mo (verified August 2026), the lowest entry allowance in the field. The relationship matters because it shows Bitly's approach to QR: acquire an existing QR tool rather than build QR-first capabilities into the platform.
The #1 issue: destination edits are metered, even on paid plans
Editing where a QR code points is the defining feature of a dynamic QR code. Bitly calls this "Link and QR Code redirects" and meters it by plan: 5 per month on Core, 20 on Growth, 110 on Premium (verified August 2026). Run a campaign where one client changes a landing page a few times, and you can hit the ceiling on a $10 or even $29 plan mid-month. On Pageloot, destination edits are unmetered on every plan. That is the whole point of dynamic codes, so we do not charge per change.
Bitly's free tier also serves ads on QR scans. The pricing page labels the free plan "With ads" (verified August 2026). Someone scanning your free code may see a Bitly-served ad before reaching your destination. For anything client-facing or printed, that is a dealbreaker.
Pokud potřebujete pouze statické QR kódy, Pageloot generátor QR kódů zdarma creates unlimited static codes without an account. For dynamic codes, Pageloot Starter is $7/mo billed annually with 15 dynamic QR codes, unlimited scans, and a 30-day money-back guarantee, or there is a doživotní nabídku od $197: pay once and there is no subscription to lapse, so your dynamic codes stay live.
Problém #2: QR kódy jsou sekundární funkcí
Bitly's dashboard, pricing, and roadmap are organized around link shortening. QR codes are packaged alongside links, landing pages, and link-in-bio, not treated as a primary product. Pageloot's QR-specific tooling (multi-PDF codes, audio QR, print templates) exists because QR is the entire product. With Bitly you are paying for a link platform and getting QR as a side benefit.
The #3 issue: scan history is short at every price
Bitly retains scan and click data for 30 days on Core, 120 days on Growth, and 1 year on Premium at $199/mo. Two years is the maximum anywhere, and it is Enterprise-only (verified August 2026). There is no unlimited history at any published price. For agencies running year-over-year campaign comparisons, the data you need either ages out or sits behind an Enterprise contract. Pageloot keeps scan history forever on every paid plan: unlimited scan history, verified August 2026.

Kdy je Bitly lepší volbou
Primární potřebou vašeho týmu je zkracování brandovaných odkazů
Bitly je lídrem v oboru správy odkazů. Vlastní domény, brandované krátké odkazy a analýza odkazů jsou oblasti, kde Bitly skutečně vyniká. Pokud se váš marketingový stack točí kolem zkrácených URL s QR kódy jako občasným doplňkem, zůstat na jedné platformě má skutečnou hodnotu pro pracovní postup.
Potřebujete shodu se SOC 2 Type 2 pro správu odkazů
Bitly drží certifikace shody SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR a CCPA. Pro organizace, kde platforma pro správu odkazů musí splňovat podnikové bezpečnostní požadavky, je soubor shody Bitly zavedený.
Jste již hluboko v ekosystému Bitly
Pokud vaše organizace spravuje tisíce odkazů Bitly napříč marketingovými kanály a potřebuje QR kódy, které se integrují se stejným analytickým panelem, udržení všeho na jedné platformě snižuje roztříštěnost nástrojů.
