ScanMosaic vs Flowcode
The short verdict
Flowcode is aimed at marketing teams in larger companies. It combines QR codes, landing pages, audience data and CRM integrations. Its free plan gives 2 codes with analytics for up to 500 scans, and paid plans start at Pro Plus for $25 a month billed yearly.
ScanMosaic is smaller and cheaper, with more code types, barcodes, and free static codes without an account. If your team wants QR codes tied into a CRM or customer data platform, Flowcode is built for that. If you want well-designed codes, dynamic links and scan counts for a small business, ScanMosaic does it for much less.

How to switch to ScanMosaic
- Keep your printed codes running. Don't delete anything on the old service until every printed code has been replaced or has an end date. Dynamic codes stop when their short link stops.
- Recreate each code in ScanMosaic. Pick the same type, paste the same destination, and turn on Dynamic code for anything you might change later.
- Match the look. Set your colours, logo and frame, or start from one of 127 templates. The scan check confirms each design reads.
- Replace codes as you reprint. Swap in the new code at the next print run, then compare scans in the dashboard.
- Close the old account last. Export any scan history you want to keep before you cancel.
