Our Zero-Hostage Guarantee.
We built QRHQ because we were disgusted by legacy QR vendors holding physical businesses hostage after they printed thousands of menus, posters, and packages.
The Legacy Extortion Playbook
How legacy QR services trap businesses.
1. The Free Bait
Legacy vendors let you create a "free" dynamic QR code. You print 5,000 table cards, wine labels, or packaging boxes.
2. The 14-Day Ambush
14 days later, your codes secretly redirect to an extortion splash page saying: "This QR code has expired. Upgrade to unlock."
3. The Ransom Demand
They demand $35 to $60 every month. If you refuse, your physical prints are ruined and customers see broken links.
