Why Switch from Scanova?
Scanova was built for enterprise procurement cycles. QRCodeStack was built for teams that want to ship today — with the enterprise checklist (SSO, team roles, audit logs) included at self-serve pricing.
One-Third of Scanova's Entry Price
Scanova starts around $15/month, with mid-tier pricing climbing toward $40-$85/month. QRCodeStack's Starter plan is $9/month and Pro is $19/month — for the same dynamic QR core: real-time analytics, custom branding, password protection, and bulk creation.
Native Canva Marketplace App
Scanova has no Canva integration. QRCodeStack's native Canva app means designers create branded, trackable QR codes without leaving Canva — useful when QR is part of every flyer, deck, and social asset.
plans from $9/month
Scanova is typically priced for higher tiers. QRCodeStack starts at $9/month with a 7-day free trial — no credit card required.
Vertical Products Bundled In
QRCodeStack ships a full restaurant QR menu with online ordering and built-in event check-in — on the same account that runs your campaign QR codes. Scanova has neither, so restaurants and event organizers end up paying Scanova plus a separate vendor.
Who Should Switch from Scanova?
If you fit one of these, QRCodeStack will save money without giving up capability.
SMBs Quoted Enterprise Pricing
If Scanova's $15+ entry pricing feels disproportionate to your QR volume, QRCodeStack delivers the same dynamic QR features — analytics, branding, expiry, password protection — at $9/month.
Anyone Who Needs Just a Few Codes
Scanova has no path under $15/month. QRCodeStack sells single trackable QR codes for $9/month with no subscription — ideal for one-off campaigns, product packaging trials, or printed materials with a fixed shelf life.
Restaurants & Event Teams
Scanova has no menu or check-in product, so restaurant operators and event organizers always end up paying Scanova plus a vertical SaaS. QRCodeStack folds restaurant ordering and event check-in into the same account.
Marketing Teams That Use Canva
Scanova has no Canva integration. QRCodeStack's native Canva app means QR creation lives inside the design tool your team is already using — no exports, no version drift.

QRCodeStack also includes Google Workspace SSO, 2FA, and audit logs on every plan, with SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning on the $59/month Business plan — where competitors typically require an enterprise contract.
