When Bitly is the better pick

If your team already manages branded short links in Bitly and wants QR codes in the same place, staying in one tool is reasonable.

When QRGlo is the better pick

If you mainly need QR codes, especially editable ones, and want to start without a monthly quota or ads, QRGlo’s free plan covers more.

Different starting points

Bitly started as a link shortener; QR codes are one part of its platform, and its plans are counted in QR codes and links per month. QRGlo starts from the QR code: design, AI art, editable codes, scan stats and printing advice, with short links (Smart Links) alongside.

Editing a printed code

On Bitly’s pricing page, "Link & QR Code redirects" appears from the Core plan. On QRGlo, the 3 editable codes on the free plan can be pointed somewhere else at any time, and every code keeps redirecting whatever your plan.

Questions
