Detailed Review

QR-Guru is run by XIOSYS UG (haftungsbeschränkt) in Berlin, registered at the Amtsgericht Berlin-Charlottenburg under HRB 287445 B. It combines a static QR generator with a dynamic layer: short links whose destination can be changed after printing, with scan statistics, bulk creation from CSV and a form builder. The site is in German and the offer is limited to businesses (entrepreneurs under section 14 BGB).

On pricing, static QR codes are free and extra print features are sold as credit packs from €9.90 one-off. The dynamic plans run from a free tier with 25 active links to Solo at €4.17 per month on annual billing (€50 per year), up to Business at €65.00 per month, all excluding VAT. The vendor states that servers are in Germany and that an Art. 28 GDPR processing agreement is included from the first link.

Where it is weaker: consumers cannot buy it, the interface and documentation are German first, and the free plan limits destination changes to one per 60 days. Scan tracking per link is counted in monthly scan quotas, and geo statistics only appear on higher plans. Teams that need a long track record or many integrations should check the plan table before committing.
