Uniqode (formerly Beaconstac) is built for enterprise fleets — on redirect infrastructure the enterprise never owns.
Yes. Genuinely — go for it. Connect your Cloudflare, create your codes, print everything, then downgrade to Free or cancel entirely. The redirects run in your own Cloudflare account, so every printed code keeps resolving at no cost. Come back if the dashboard ever becomes worth paying for. That is not a loophole — it is the product working as designed.
| Uniqode | OpenFlareQR | |
|---|---|---|
| Printed short URL | Uniqode-hosted short URLs (custom domains on higher tiers, hosted by them) | qr.yourdomain.com/menu — your domain, your Cloudflare account |
| If you cancel | Industry comparisons report dynamic codes deactivate when the subscription ends — a fleet of thousands of printed asset tags goes dark at once | Every printed code keeps resolving on your Cloudflare, free — a 10,000-label fleet included |
| Redirect infrastructure | Uniqode's servers | A small open worker in your Cloudflare account |
| Scan limits | Metered by plan | Unlimited scans on every plan |
| Analytics data | Their dashboard, their storage | Stored in your Cloudflare account |
| Exit path | Printed codes are bound to their service | Export everything anytime (bulk CSV built for SKU fleets) + public runbook |

Uniqode’s enterprise checklist — SSO, team roles, GS1 Digital Link, digital business card fleets, compliance paperwork — is real and we don’t have it in v1. If procurement needs those boxes ticked today, they’re the grown-up in the room. Our answer is structural ownership; theirs is contractual assurance.
