Just need static + design/logos QRCode Monkey

Bottom line:

  • If you just need a QR code that links somewhere—static—you can get it completely free, forever.
  • If you need to edit the link later or track scans, you’ll either pay for a dynamic-capable plan (~$10–$20/month) or use free services that let you create a small number of dynamic codes at no cost.
