Flowcode Alternative
Analytics that never stop counting
Flowcode stops recording scan data once your tier cap is hit, and its API costs $250 a month. QR Chameleon records every scan on every plan and includes the REST API on the free tier, with true monthly billing.
No credit card required. Every scan recorded.
Why switch
Three reasons teams leave Flowcode
Scan data without a cap, an API that does not cost $250 a month, and billing that stays monthly.
Your best campaign is not a penalty
Flowcode records analytics for 500 scans free, 6,000 on Pro Plus, and 10,000 on Growth — after the cap, scans keep happening but the data stops. QR Chameleon records every scan on every plan. A campaign that takes off means more insight, not missing rows.
The API is not a $250/mo upsell
Flowcode includes API access and custom domains only on its Growth tier: $250/mo, billed annually. QR Chameleon includes 1,250 REST API requests a month on the free plan and lets you connect your own branded domain on the $12/mo Adapt tier.
One price, monthly or annual
Flowcode Pro Plus advertises $25/mo, but month-to-month billing costs $60, and the Growth tier is annual-only. QR Chameleon plans start at $4/mo billed monthly at the listed rate. Cancel anytime, and your codes keep working.

Being honest
The fine print, honestly
Two things worth saying plainly. First, Flowcode codes never stop scanning — the caps apply to recorded analytics, not to the codes themselves, and its free tier now includes two real dynamic codes. Second, Flowcode holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report and sells first-party data tooling (CRM integrations, smart routing, S3 data pipelines) that we do not. What that costs you is the story of this page: the API and your own domain sit behind a $250/mo annual contract, and your analytics stop recording at the tier cap. QR Chameleon records every scan at every tier, an API from $0 instead of $250/mo, your own domain connected at $12/mo, and bills genuinely month to month from $4/mo.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, especially if analytics caps or the $250/mo API tier are the problem. Flowcode stops recording scan data once your tier cap is hit (500 scans free, 6,000 on Pro Plus, 10,000 on Growth) and locks its API and custom domains behind the $250/mo annual-only Growth plan. QR Chameleon records every scan on every plan and includes a REST API on the free tier.
No — to be fair to Flowcode, codes keep scanning. What stops is the data: once your analytics cap is reached, new scans are no longer recorded in your dashboard. QR Chameleon has no analytics volume caps at all. Every scan is recorded on every plan; tiers only change how far back your history window reaches.
Flowcode Pro Plus is $25/mo billed annually but jumps to $60/mo if you want month-to-month billing, and the Growth tier with API access and custom domains is $250/mo, annual-only. QR Chameleon paid plans run month-to-month at the same listed rate, connecting your own branded domain is included from the mid tier, and the REST API is included on every plan, free included.
Flowcode holds a SOC 2 Type 2 report and offers first-party data tooling we do not: CRM integrations, retargeting-oriented data capture, and artist-designed code templates. QR Chameleon records every scan on every plan with no cutoff, includes the API from $0, costs a fraction of the price at every tier — and our sales team handles security reviews directly.
