TurtleQR vs Scanova
The Scanova alternative with a free tier, not just a trial.
Scanova is a solid, design-focused QR platform with broad use-case coverage. TurtleQR adds a genuinely free tier, a native MCP server, and codes that keep working even after you cancel.
What happens to your codes if you stop paying? With TurtleQR they keep working, on every plan, redirecting to a fallback you choose. Most QR services restrict or retire your codes when you cancel. That is the whole reason TurtleQR exists.

Where Scanova is strong
