QR Code Slots and Capacity Explained: 20 Free, 200 Premium

What a QR Code "Slot" Is

In QR2GO, a slot is one saved, trackable QR code in your account. Each slot holds a single code — its destination, design, and scan history — so you can manage it, edit where a dynamic code points, and follow its analytics over time.

Picture your account as a shelf: each saved code takes one space, and your plan sets how many spaces the shelf holds. That total is your capacity. Making a code and keeping it as a managed, measurable asset are different things — only the second uses a slot.

Free Gives You 20 Slots, Premium Gives You 200

The numbers are simple and fixed:

• Free plan: 20 slots — room for 20 saved, trackable codes; plenty for personal projects or a small campaign.
• Premium plan: 200 slots — ten times the capacity, for teams running several campaigns, product lines, or locations at once.

Both tiers save codes as first-party, trackable assets with scan analytics powered by Matomo (privacy-friendly, EU-hosted). More slots means more codes kept, not better ones — see our free vs paid comparison for details.

Slots Are Lifetime, Not Monthly

Here is the part people most often get wrong: your slots do not reset each month. There is no monthly allowance that refills — your capacity is a standing number of saved codes you can hold at any one time.

The upside is practical: you are never stuck waiting for a reset. Just delete a code you no longer need and its slot frees up immediately for a new one. Retire a finished event code, and that space is yours again.

Generating QR Codes Is Uncapped — Only Saving Uses a Slot

Using the QR2GO generator has no cap. You can build code after code, preview designs, and download static images as many times as you like — no slot required.

A slot is used only when you save a code to your account, turning it into a managed, trackable asset with a scan history you can measure. Experiment freely — a slot is spent only when a code is worth keeping and tracking.

Add-on Slots: Permanent Extra Capacity

Outgrow your included slots and you don't have to switch tiers. QR2GO sells add-on slot packs as one-time purchases that permanently raise your capacity: they never expire, they don't renew, and they stack on top of your included slots. Both Free and Premium users can add capacity this way — see the sizes and prices in our guide to add-on slots.

Keep the distinction in mind: add-on packs raise your capacity, while Premium unlocks features such as advanced redirect controls and longer analytics retention, covered in premium redirect features.

Choosing the Right Plan

A quick way to decide:

• Stay on Free if you keep a modest set of codes — up to 20 at once — and delete old ones as projects wrap up.
• Go Premium if you need many codes live at once, longer analytics retention, and advanced redirect features.
• Add slot packs on either tier when you just need more room.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do my slots reset every month? No. Slots are lifetime capacity, not a monthly allowance. You hold up to your plan's number of saved codes at any time and free space by deleting codes you no longer need.

Does generating a QR code use a slot? No. Generating and downloading codes in the browser is uncapped. A slot is used only when you save a code to your account as a trackable, editable asset.

What happens if I hit my limit? Delete an unused code to reclaim a slot, buy a permanent add-on pack, or upgrade to Premium for 200 slots. Nothing you have already saved is lost.
