Where Autessa wins
Why teams pick Autessa QR Codes over QR Code Generator Pro
✓ AUTESSA
No counting codes
Every code you make is dynamic, so nobody has to decide which posters deserve a dynamic slot.
✓ AUTESSA
The whole company, not a few seats
Everyone can make and track codes for free, with no user limit to plan around, and each code stays private until it is shared.
✓ AUTESSA
Scan by scan, not only totals
Filter the log by device and location to see exactly which placement worked and when.
✓ AUTESSA
Make it fit your process
Ask Autobot for a Store field on every code, a weekly report by region or a review step before a destination changes, and it builds it into your copy, code and all.
✓ AUTESSA
Let an agent run the campaign
Through the Autessa MCP, Claude can create a code per placement, repoint them when the offer changes and read back the scans.
Switching
What about codes already printed?
Printed QR Code Generator PRO codes keep pointing at that service’s short links. For new prints, create the matching codes in Autessa, by hand, with a short CLI script, or by asking an agent through the Autessa MCP.
