Bitly Vaihtoehto: QR-koodialusta, Ei linkinlyhentäjä, joka lisäsi QR:n
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.

Bitly on yksi tunnetuimmista brändeistä internetissä. 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 omistaa myös 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.
Jos tarvitset vain staattisia QR-koodeja, Pagelootin ilmainen QR -koodigeneraattori 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 elinikäisen tarjouksen alkaen 197 $: pay once and there is no subscription to lapse, so your dynamic codes stay live.
#2-ongelma: QR-koodit ovat toissijainen ominaisuus
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.

Milloin Bitly on parempi valinta
Tiimisi ensisijainen tarve on brändättyjen linkkien lyhentäminen
Bitly on alan johtaja linkkien hallinnassa. Mukautetut verkkotunnukset, brändätyt lyhytlinkit ja linkkianalytiikka ovat alueita, joilla Bitly todella loistaa. Jos markkinointipinonne pyörii lyhennettyjen URL-osoitteiden ympärillä ja QR-koodit ovat satunnainen lisä, yhdessä alustassa pysyminen tuo todellista työnkulun arvoa.
Tarvitset SOC 2 Type 2 -yhteensopivuuden linkkien hallintaan
Bitly:llä on SOC 2 Type 2, GDPR ja CCPA -yhteensopivuussertifikaatit. Organisaatioille, joissa linkkien hallinta-alustan on täytettävä yritystason tietoturvavaatimukset, Bitly:n yhteensopivuus on vakiintunut.
Olet jo syvällä Bitly-ekosysteemissä
Jos organisaatiosi hallinnoi tuhansia Bitly-linkkejä eri markkinointikanavissa ja tarvitsee QR-koodeja, jotka integroituvat samaan analytiikan hallintapaneeliin, kaiken pitäminen yhdessä alustassa vähentää työkalujen leviämistä.
