A finite runway for every dynamic code

Why we built it

Most dynamic QR products group codes under one account-wide plan. We wanted a code-specific way to allocate spend instead. That does not mean a code lasts indefinitely: every GlyphIQ pack has a finite scan budget and pack term, and the code stops reaching your destination when either runs out unless another pack applies.

So we built standalone packs: buy a specific code its own scan budget up front, then add another pack manually or through auto-extend when you want it to continue. You decide which codes deserve that runway, code by code.

What we stand for

One-time pricing. Standalone packs let you fund the codes that matter without a recurring bill.

Honesty. No QR service is truly unlimited; most just bury the cap in a fair-use clause. We state a pack’s scan quota before you pay, and its term in our terms of service. When a pack runs out, the code isn’t silently deleted: it falls back to a simple page with a single contextual ad, or we may keep it redirecting to your destination with ad support instead. Either way it stays reactivatable for as long as we retain it — retention is best-effort, with no guaranteed minimum period. Ads only ever run on codes whose pack has run out — never on active codes or in the dashboard — and the ad placement says so.

Privacy. The scan path stores no raw IP addresses, sets no cookies, and never profiles the people who scan. Visitors are pseudonymized at collection and location is country-only — details are in our privacy policy and sub-processor list.

Safety. Every destination is screened and rechecked, so a code you trust keeps pointing somewhere you’d be comfortable sending people.

How we write our guides

Our guides answer the questions people actually ask about QR codes — what dynamic codes are, whether codes expire, how scan tracking works — in plain language, without padding. We’re honest about what a code can and can’t do: a static code can’t be edited or tracked, and we’ll say so rather than oversell. When something is a limitation, we name it.

Who runs GlyphIQ

GlyphIQ is part of UserShaped, an independent family of products built and operated by a single operator — a brand, not a company. Being user-shaped is the point: ideas and feature requests sent to support@glyphiq.app are read by the person who builds the product and weigh directly on what ships next, and public roadmap voting is planned.

The operator’s details, the terms of service, and the data-protection contacts are published on our terms and privacy pages, so you always know who stands behind the service and how to reach a real person.
