How it works

1. Add the tool to your agent
   Add One Tap QR to any AI agent that supports MCP, like Claude. You paste one server address into its settings.
2. Ask for a code to a URL
   Say where the code should go. Your agent hands you a print-ready file.
   Links must start with https:// and pass Google's safety check.
3. Repoint it anytime
   Menu changed? Ask your agent to send the same printed code to a new page.

Try it first with test codes

• Each Apify account can create up to 5 test codes in total, ever. Deleted and expired test codes still count. Need more? Email contact@u-things.com to ask for an exception. We look at each request.
• A test code stops working 48 hours after it’s made.
• When someone scans a test code, they see a notice page first that says it’s a test code. Then they can continue to your link.
• After 48 hours, the test code and everything about it is deleted.

Test codes are for trying the service. Don’t print them.

How much does a dynamic QR code cost?

Most dynamic QR code tools charge a subscription. Typically that’s about $7–25 a month, usually paid a year upfront, so about $100–300 a year.

	Price	Source
QR Code Generator (by Bitly), Starter	$19.99 a month, or $119.88 a year billed yearly, for 2 dynamic codes	QR Code Generator pricing page
QR TIGER, Regular	$7 a month, for 12 dynamic codes	QR TIGER pricing page
One Tap QR	$10 per code, once, plus $0.50 per change	This page

Several vendors’ own terms say codes stop working or redirect when the plan ends: QR Code Generator’s support center, QR TIGER’s FAQ and Uniqode’s pricing FAQ all say so. Vendor prices were checked on November 1, 2026, without tax, and can change.

Pricing

Pay only for what you use

All billing runs through Apify. No subscription, no monthly fee.

Per QR code: $10.00. Paid once. The code keeps working.

		Price
Change the link (repoint)	Send a printed code to a new web address.	$0.50
Get a code’s scan counts	Fetch the statistics for a code, day by day, for the last 12 months (rolling).	$0.05
List your codes	See every code you own and where it points.	Free
Download it again	Get any code again as SVG, PNG or JPEG.	Free

Our shutdown guarantee

Your code works as long as One Tap QR runs. If U-Things closes or Apify stops selling One Tap QR, your codes keep working for 1 more year after our notice, and changing their link is free during that year. After that year, the links stop working. This promise is U-Things’ own, and it still applies if the Actor is unpublished. We give notice on the Actor’s Apify page, in its Issues tab, by email through Apify, and as a banner on the One Tap QR website. We don’t set aside money per code to run them after that year. We won’t use a change to shorten the 1-year shutdown period for codes you already bought.

You pay Apify for your usage at the prices shown on this page. There are no refunds, except as required by law. One Tap QR is offered for business use, like the Apify platform itself. If you are nevertheless a consumer in the EU, your contract for this Actor is with U-Things, not Apify. You can withdraw within 14 days of buying a code: email contact@u-things.com with the code ID and we refund what you paid for it. The code then stops working and is deleted.

---

Run it through the Apify API

You can also run One Tap QR through the Apify API with your Apify API token. It takes the same input as the MCP tool, like action and destinationUrl, and the same prices apply.

POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/u-things~dynamic-qr-codes/runs?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>

{"action":"list_qr_codes"}

Because it’s an Apify Actor, you can also run it from Make, Zapier or n8n with Apify’s own integrations.

MCP tool

Paste this server address into your AI agent’s MCP settings:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=u-things/dynamic-qr-codes

Then just ask in plain words, for example:

You: Make a QR code for our menu at example-bistro.com/menu.
You: Send my Spring menu code to example-bistro.com/summer.

Tool: u-things/dynamic-qr-codes. Make QR codes you can point to a new link later, change their link, and get their scan counts. Paid actions are billed by Apify per call; listing and re-downloading your codes is free. No subscription, no monthly fee.

action	What it does	Price
create_dynamic_qr	Makes one editable QR code that opens your https:// link (destinationUrl), once the link passes our checks.	$10 per code
update_qr_destination	Changes the page an existing editable code opens (codeId and destinationUrl).	$0.50 per change
get_qr_scans	Returns daily scan counts for one code, for the last 12 months. Counts are approximate.	$0.05 per call
list_qr_codes	Lists your codes and their current links.	No charge
redownload_qr	Gives you a new download link for a code’s image.	No charge

destinationUrl: https:// URL the code opens. Other schemes, IP addresses, localhost, private network addresses and links with login details are refused. Every link is checked with Google Web Risk; if the check can’t run, we refuse the link until it can.

mode (optional): “test” or “live”. Default “live”. Use “test” to try the service. Test codes are never charged. The limits are under Try it first with test codes.

Refusal messages in tool output:

• This link doesn’t start with https://. Use the https:// address of the page.
• We can’t use this link. Use a public web address, like https://example.com, with no IP address or login details in it.
• We couldn’t check this link for safety right now, so we can’t use it yet. Try again in a few minutes.
• You’ve used all 5 test codes for this Apify account. To keep going, make an editable code, or email contact@u-things.com to ask for an exception.
• You’ve made 10 test codes in the last hour. Try again later.

Q&A

What is a dynamic QR code?

A dynamic QR code is a QR code whose link you can change after it’s printed. The code holds a short link, and the short link sends each scan to the page you choose. One Tap QR makes them for $10 per code.

Do dynamic QR codes expire?

Ours don’t. Many subscription tools stop a code when the plan ends, but a One Tap QR code keeps working for as long as One Tap QR runs, with no renewal fee. If U-Things closes or Apify stops selling One Tap QR, your codes keep working for 1 more year after our notice, and changing their link is free during that year.

How do I change a QR code link?

Ask your AI agent to change it, for example: “Send my Spring menu code to example-bistro.com/summer.” The printed code stays the same, so you don’t reprint. Each change costs $0.50.

What is MCP?

MCP is the standard way AI agents plug in outside tools, so your agent can make and change codes for you.

How do I connect to One Tap QR?

Add our MCP server address to your agent’s settings. Billing runs through your Apify account. Server URL: https://mcp.apify.com?tools=u-things/dynamic-qr-codes

How do I get the statistics for a code?

Ask your agent for the stats. It fetches the statistics for a code, day by day, for the last 12 months (rolling). Each fetch costs $0.05.

Why are there no colors or logos?

Every code is a plain, high-contrast black-and-white QR code. Styled designer codes scan less reliably, and a printed code has to work on the first try.

Which file formats do I get?

SVG, PNG or JPEG, your choice. Every format is plain black on white and print-ready; SVG is the default. You can re-download any code in another format at any time, for free.

Which links can a code open?

Codes can only point to secure web pages: the link must start with https://. This applies to test codes too, and when you update a link.

We also check every new or changed link against Google Web Risk, Google’s lists of unsafe sites. If the check can’t run, we refuse the link until it can. We don’t accept IP addresses, localhost, private network addresses or login details in a link.

Do I need an account with you?

No sign-up with us. We know you by your Apify account, not your email.

How do I report a code?

Open an issue on this Actor’s Issues tab, or email contact@u-things.com, with the code’s link, why you think it is illegal or breaks these rules, your name and email (unless you report child sexual abuse material), and a statement that you believe your report is accurate. We confirm receipt and tell you what we decided. We answer every issue within 14 days, aim to reply within 2 working days, and act on phishing and malware as soon as we confirm it.

Why us

A code you don’t have to reprint

Plain codes are built to scan on the first try.

Codes are plain black on white. We follow the GS1 barcode guidelines, but we can’t promise a code scans if it’s damaged, badly printed, printed too small, or changed after download.

Prints sharp at any size. The SVG file is vector, so the code stays crisp on anything from a table card to a poster.

Why us, and what it means for your customer

No subscription, ever. A code costs $10 once. There’s no plan to renew and nothing that switches off when a card expires. Listing your codes and downloading them again as SVG, PNG or JPEG is free.

No reprint when the link changes. Menu changed? New campaign? Change the link any time, without reprinting. The printed code stays the same, and each change costs $0.50.

We follow the barcode standard. Every code follows GS1, the global barcode standards body: black on white, strong contrast, and a full blank margin.

Plain looks plainer. It also fails less. A plain code doesn’t fight the client’s colors or logo, and it’s the same file every time. QR codes in real life get worn. They get scratched, faded and sun-bleached, and every QR code has built-in error correction that restores data when a code is dirty or damaged. A logo or artwork over the code uses up part of that safety margin before it’s even printed, so a plain code has more of it left when the print starts to wear. Let the layout carry the brand and let the code do its one job.

Proof it’s working. Fetch daily scan counts for any code, for the last 12 months, for $0.05. That’s a number for the client’s report.

Your AI agent does the busywork. Ask your agent for a code, a link change or last month’s scans, and it handles it through MCP. No extra dashboard to learn.

When we’re not the right fit. The code opens through our short link, and some people hesitate before opening a link they don’t recognize. And if you run your own domain, you can set up redirects and UTM tags yourself for free. Free isn’t the same as no work, though. Your domain has to be renewed for as long as the print is out there, and the redirect has to survive every website redesign and hosting move. Each change means checking your domain, server and redirect again, and when the person who set it up leaves, that burden lands on whoever’s left. With us, keeping the redirect running is our job, not yours.

Terms

How these terms work. Your use of this Actor is governed by Apify’s Standard Actor Contract. The commitments below are ours, and they add to that contract. Where they give you more, they apply.

Who we are. One Tap QR is made by Franco Soldera, an individual trading as U-Things, in Denmark. Address: Drejøgade 26C, 2100 København Ø, Denmark. Contact: contact@u-things.com.

What you get. QR codes that send each scan to a link you choose. You can change that link any time.

Paying. You pay Apify for your usage at the prices shown on this page. There are no refunds, except as required by law. One Tap QR is offered for business use, like the Apify platform itself. If you are nevertheless a consumer in the EU, your contract for this Actor is with U-Things, not Apify. You can withdraw within 14 days of buying a code: email contact@u-things.com with the code ID and we refund what you paid for it. The code then stops working and is deleted.

Price changes. A price increase takes effect 14 days after we announce it, and we raise prices at most once a month.

How long codes work. Your code works as long as One Tap QR runs. If U-Things closes or Apify stops selling One Tap QR, your codes keep working for 1 more year after our notice, and changing their link is free during that year. After that year, the links stop working. This promise is U-Things’ own, and it still applies if this Actor is unpublished. We give notice in this README, in the Actor’s Issues tab, by email through Apify, and as a banner on the One Tap QR website. We don’t set aside money per code to run them after that year. We won’t use a change to shorten the 1-year shutdown period for codes you already bought.

What codes look like. Codes are plain black on white. We follow the GS1 barcode guidelines, but we can’t promise a code scans if it’s damaged, badly printed, printed too small, or changed after download.

What you can’t link to. Don’t point a code at phishing, malware, scams or illegal content (see Acceptable use). If a code breaks these rules, we may disable it or point it to a notice page, without a refund. When we do, we tell you which code, what we did, the facts behind it and whether it was found by an automated check (such as Google Web Risk) or a report, which rule or law it breaks, and how to object. We look at every objection, and you can also go to court.

Liability. We do our best to keep codes working, but the service is provided as is. Our total liability to you is limited to the greater of what you paid or USD 100. Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else the law doesn’t allow us to limit. Warranties that can’t legally be excluded aren’t excluded. If you’re a consumer, the consumer protection laws of your country still apply to you.

Ending access. We end your access to codes you bought only for abuse or a legal order.

Changes. We publish updates to these terms on this Actor’s Store page, dated. We won’t use a change to shorten the 1-year shutdown period for codes you already bought.

The rest. These terms are in English. If one part turns out to be invalid, the rest still applies.

Privacy

Who’s responsible. Franco Soldera, trading as U-Things, Denmark. Contact: contact@u-things.com.

The links you enter. We process the links you enter as Actor input only to run the service for you. For those, we act as your processor.

When someone scans one of your codes, we are responsible for the scan data (the controller), and we store:

• which code was scanned, and when
• the country, plus an estimated city and region (Cloudflare works these out from the IP address)
• the device type: mobile, tablet or desktop

We don’t store the IP address, the browser details, or anything that identifies the person who scanned. Cloudflare, which runs our redirects and blocks abuse, sees each visitor’s IP address while it handles the request, on our behalf. Scan counts are approximate.

We use scan data only to count scans and show you statistics. We don’t sell it, and we don’t build profiles of people who scan. You see only totals, never individual scans.

Abuse limits. To prevent abuse, we limit how often each buyer can use the service, and we keep one overall counter. For this we keep a hashed version of your Apify account ID, never an IP address, and overwrite it each time window. There is no sign-in.

How long we keep it. We keep individual scan records for 90 days. After that we keep only one total per code per day, for a rolling 12 months. Test codes are deleted after 48 hours; a log of abuse-related events for test codes is kept for 6 months. When a code ends, or after the shutdown year, we delete everything for that code within 30 days. If you ask us to delete your data, we do it within 30 days.

Test codes. Test codes are separate from regular codes and kept in their own storage. Each Apify account can create up to 5 test codes in total, ever. Deleted and expired test codes still count. To enforce this, we keep a small counter per Apify account: a one-way hashed form of your Apify user ID and how many test codes you’ve made. We keep it for as long as One Tap QR runs, and nothing else about your test codes is kept beyond the stated period. Need more? Email contact@u-things.com to ask for an exception. We look at each request. They stop working after 48 hours.

When someone scans a test code, we store the scanner’s IP address, network, approximate location, browser, and connection (TLS) details. We keep these for 48 hours to prevent abuse (our legitimate interest), then delete them for good, along with the code.

To deal with abuse, we keep a short record for 6 months: the code, its destination, a hashed Apify account ID, a hashed IP address, the network and the time. Then we delete it.

Buyers. We know you by your Apify account, not by your email. We store your codes, their links and their scan counts. This Actor runs with Apify’s limited permissions, so it sees only its own runs and storage, the input you give it, and basic account information Apify passes to every Actor (your Apify user ID, and whether you are a paying user). It cannot see other data in your Apify account. Apify does not give us your payment details. Apify may show us your Apify username in our run statistics. Don’t put personal data in the links your codes point to. If you do, you’re responsible for it.

Who processes data for us:

• Cloudflare (redirects, scan data)
• Apify (sales, accounts, payment)
• Google (Google Web Risk link safety checks: links you enter are checked against Google’s lists of unsafe sites. If the check can’t run, we refuse the link until it can.)

Cloudflare and Google are US companies. Cloudflare is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and its data processing addendum, which includes the EU standard contractual clauses as a fallback, applies to our use. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and Google Cloud’s data processing terms apply to our use of Web Risk.

Legal basis. Running the service for you relies on our contract with you (GDPR art. 6(1)(b)). Scan statistics, abuse limits, the abuse log and link safety checks rely on our legitimate interest in providing statistics to code owners and keeping the service safe (GDPR art. 6(1)(f)).

Your rights. You can ask to see, correct or delete your data, object to its use, or move it elsewhere. Email contact@u-things.com and we’ll answer within one month. For data Apify holds about your account, ask Apify. You can also complain to the Danish Data Protection Agency (Datatilsynet).

Acceptable use

One Tap QR codes must not point to:

• phishing or fake login pages
• malware or unwanted downloads
• scams or fraud
• illegal content, or content that infringes someone else’s rights

If a code breaks these rules, we may disable it or point it to a notice page. Warnings based on Google data are labeled “suspected”, carry “Advisory provided by Google”, and are not a guarantee of safety.

Report a code. Open an issue on this Actor’s Issues tab, or email contact@u-things.com, with the code’s link, why you think it is illegal or breaks these rules, your name and email (unless you report child sexual abuse material), and a statement that you believe your report is accurate. We confirm receipt and tell you what we decided. We answer every issue within 14 days, aim to reply within 2 working days, and act on phishing and malware as soon as we confirm it.

Point of contact. For authorities and users under the EU Digital Services Act: contact@u-things.com, in English or Danish. Email reaches us directly, and a person answers, not only an automated tool.
