What Do You Get If You Upgrade from qrilo's Free Plan?

Upgrading from qrilo's free plan is only necessary if you need to edit a QR code's destination after it has been printed, or if you need scan tracking beyond 5 codes and 14 days of history. The free plan already covers static QR codes with no sign-up, no watermark, and PNG/SVG/PDF downloads. The paid upgrade is about dynamic codes and analytics, not about removing limits on static generation.

What the free plan already includes

According to qrilo's own page, the free tier is more generous than "trial" software usually is:

• Static QR codes: free, no account required, no credit card.
• No watermark on PNG, SVG, or PDF downloads.
• Design options on every code: foreground/background colors, solid/vertical/diagonal/radial gradients, square/rounded/classy/dots patterns, square/rounded/circle/leaf corners, and call-to-action frames (caption only, banner below, banner above, bordered, rounded card).
• 42 QR code types, including URL, WiFi, vCard, restaurant menu, PDF, email, phone, SMS, social media, calendar event, location, YouTube, WhatsApp, app download, Google Review, and many more.
• Dynamic codes with a free account: up to 5 dynamic codes and 14 days of scan history.

So if you only need a fixed QR code that points to one URL forever, you never need to pay.

What upgrading adds

The upgrade is aimed at the two things static codes cannot do:

The core trade-off: a static code bakes the destination into the pattern itself, so changing the URL means reprinting. A dynamic code stores a short redirect that you can repoint at any time, and every scan passes through qrilo's servers — which is also what makes scan counting possible.

Who should upgrade

Upgrade if any of these describe you:

• You print QR codes on physical materials (menus, packaging, posters, business cards) and may need to change the destination later.
• You want to know how many people scanned, and when.
• You run more than 5 trackable codes at once, or need scan history older than 14 days.
• You are running a campaign, event, or subscription box where the landing page changes over time.

Stay on free if your codes point to permanent destinations and you do not care about scan counts.

What to check before paying

qrilo's page does not state the upgrade price, billing period, or the exact limits of the paid tier beyond "more than 5 codes" and "longer than 14 days." Those details live on the pricing page, so confirm there:

• The current price and whether it is monthly or annual.
• How many dynamic codes the paid plan allows.
• How long scan history is retained.
• Whether dynamic codes stop working if you cancel (this matters if codes are already printed).

The practical test

Create one dynamic code on the free account, print it or place it somewhere real, then change its destination from the dashboard and scan it again. If the redirect updates and the scan appears in your history, the mechanism works as described. That single test tells you whether the upgrade solves your problem before you spend anything.
