Scanova Alternative: Same QR Core, $5/mo — Not $19
Scanova's dynamic QR features at roughly a third of the price. SMB-priced from $5/month, plus native Canva, restaurant ordering, event check-in, and one-time codes from $1 — all things Scanova doesn't offer.
Pay One-Third the Price — Get the Same Dynamic QR Features
Scanova's pricing is built for enterprise. QRCodeStack gives you the same QR functionality at SMB cost — plus options Scanova doesn't sell.

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 $5/month and Pro is $12/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.
One-Time Codes from $1
Scanova is subscription-only — even if you need a single QR for a one-off campaign. QRCodeStack sells one-time QR packs starting at $1 for one code, $6 for 50, or $10 for 100. Pay once, use forever.
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 $5/month.
Anyone Who Needs Just a Few Codes
Scanova has no path under $15/month. QRCodeStack sells single trackable QR codes for $1 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.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why switch from Scanova to QRCodeStack?
Cost and product fit. Scanova starts around $15/month and is positioned for enterprise; QRCodeStack starts at $5/month with the same dynamic QR core. On top of that, QRCodeStack adds a native Canva app, full restaurant ordering, event check-in, and one-time codes from $1.
Is QRCodeStack as feature-rich as Scanova?
Yes — on the dynamic QR core and the enterprise checklist. Both support 30+ types, custom branding, real-time analytics, password protection, expiry, scan limits, GPS tracking, and bulk creation. QRCodeStack also includes Google & Microsoft SSO, 2FA, and audit logs on every plan, with SAML SSO and SCIM provisioning on the $29/month Advanced plan — where competitors typically require an enterprise contract. Plus Canva, restaurant ordering, event check-in, one-time codes from $1, and 11 native integrations.
Can I get one-time QR codes without a subscription?
Yes — that's a clear gap in Scanova's offering. QRCodeStack sells one-time QR packs starting at $1 for a single QR, $6 for 50, and $10 for 100. Pay once, use forever, no monthly fee. Scanova requires a subscription even for a single trackable code.
Does QRCodeStack support enterprise needs?
Yes. Every plan includes role-based team access (owner/admin/editor/viewer), Google Workspace & Microsoft 365 SSO with domain claiming, TOTP two-factor authentication, and org-wide audit logs. The Advanced plan ($29/month) adds SAML 2.0 SSO and SCIM 2.0 provisioning (Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, OneLogin), unlimited seats, multi-brand workspaces, scoped API keys, bulk creation, and audit-log CSV export — the enterprise access-management stack on a self-serve plan, no sales call required.
