Compare QRco.au and Uniqode for Australian hosting, AUD billing, unlimited scans, custom domains, Smart Pages and local support.
Why Australian teams choose QRco.au over Uniqode
Uniqode, formerly Beaconstac, is a well-known international QR code platform. QRco.au is designed around the billing, hosting, support and campaign needs of Australian organisations.
1. Transparent AUD billing
QRco.au uses flat Australian-dollar pricing and provides Australian tax invoices with GST itemised. This makes charges predictable and easier to reconcile without currency conversion or foreign transaction fees.
2. Australian hosting and responsive redirects
QRco.au uses Australian infrastructure for dynamic redirects and scan data. This supports fast local scanning and helps Australian organisations manage their privacy and data-location requirements.
3. Unlimited scans
QRco.au dynamic QR codes include unlimited scans, so a successful print, packaging or signage campaign is not interrupted by a monthly scan allowance.
4. Smart Pages and brand controls
QRco.au combines dynamic QR codes, branded short links, custom domains and mobile Smart Pages in one workspace. Smart Pages can power menus, property information, bio links and digital business cards without a separate page builder.
5. Support during Australian business hours
QRco.au is Australian owned and operated, with support aligned to AEST and AEDT business hours.

How QRco.au compares with other alternatives
Beaconstac
Beaconstac is the former name of Uniqode. Australian buyers should compare its current plan inclusions, USD pricing and international operating model with QRco.au's local offering.
Canva
Canva is useful for placing QR codes in designs, but static QR codes cannot be edited after printing and do not provide the campaign controls of a dynamic QR platform. QRco.au lets you update a destination after printing, measure scans and export high-resolution files for use in Canva.
Hospitality ordering platforms
Full table-ordering platforms bundle ordering, payment and POS workflows. QRco.au is a lighter option for venues that need editable menu links or mobile Smart Pages without adding a per-order platform to the customer journey.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dynamic QR code generator in Australia?

Why choose QRco.au over Uniqode or Bitly?

What is the difference between a static and dynamic QR code?

How does QRco.au help agencies and multi-site operators?
Team workspaces, role-based access, custom domains and developer APIs help agencies and multi-site teams organise QR assets by client, venue or brand without sharing access across unrelated projects.
