Can AI replace QR Tiger?

EDITORIAL ANSWERYESCurated prompt

It is a library call with a user interface. Static QR codes cost nothing, and dynamic redirects with scan counts take an afternoon.

the prompt

Curated prompt
Build me a QR code generator like QR Tiger, self-hosted. Requirements:

- A single page: enter a URL or text, live-preview the QR code, customize
  foreground/background color, corner style, and an optional center logo upload.
  Use the qr-code-styling library. Export as PNG or SVG.
- Dynamic QR codes: /r/:slug 302-redirects to a target URL stored in SQLite,
  so the destination can be edited later without reprinting the code. CRUD for
  these behind basic-auth (/admin, credentials from .env).
- Scan tracking for dynamic codes: log timestamp + user-agent + referer per hit,
  show per-code totals and a 30-day count in the admin list.
- Clean minimal UI, mobile-friendly, no accounts, no third-party calls.
- Node, one process, SQLite file storage, deploy notes for a VPS.

The honest tradeoff

why people still pay

Paying customers buy hosted dynamic codes on someone else's domain, scan analytics, and bulk generation, which few individuals need.

questions

Can AI replace QR Tiger?

Likely for the core workflow, based on an editorial catalog judgment. This entry is not a verified build yet; use the prompt as a starting point and validate the result against your own acceptance criteria.

How much does QR Tiger cost?

QR Tiger is listed at about $15/month (paid plan, checked 2026-07-29), or $180 per year. This is a pricing reference, not evidence of a completed replacement or realized savings.

What do I lose by replacing QR Tiger?

Honestly: hosted dynamic-QR redirects on their domain; their scan-analytics dashboard; bulk generation UI. If any of those are load-bearing for you, keep paying.

Is there an open-source alternative to QR Tiger?

Yes — qr-code-styling (the styling library that does the heavy lifting). Using prior art is also a valid exit; the prompt is for when you want it exactly your way.
