Write to [support@nimbli.app](mailto:support@nimbli.app). ## A free dynamic QR code that doesn't expire and has no scan limit Two things decide whether a free code is safe to print: whether it can be switched off, and whether its scans are capped. Hovercode's free plan has unlimited scans and is "not a time-limited trial". Nimbli's has no scan limit and no trial that ends either. The difference is room: 3 dynamic codes in total on Hovercode's free plan, 25 links, each with its QR code, on Nimbli's. - 25 links, across the teams you own, each with its QR code - Change where a link goes any time: printed codes follow - No trial that ends, no watermark - No scan limit on any plan: Nimbli counts the links you make, not the times they're scanned - Click counts for each link - The API and the AI-assistant connector We won't switch off a link because it's on the free plan: that is [Our promise](/promise). [Pricing](/pricing) lists every limit. ## The free plans and the cheapest paid plans | What you get | Hovercode, free | Nimbli, free | Hovercode, Pro | Nimbli, Pro | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | **Price** | $0 | $0 | $12 a month or $120 a year | $6 a month or $60 a year | | **Dynamic QR codes** (a Nimbli link and its code) | 3 in total | 25 links | 100 in total | 250 links | | **Scans** | Unlimited | No limit | Unlimited | No limit | | **Analytics** | Basic, 3 months of history | Click counts | 12 months of analytics history | Click counts | | **Your own domain** | None | None | 1 custom domain | 2 domains | Prices are in US dollars. Nimbli's are plus tax where it applies; Hovercode's page says its prices exclude sales tax and VAT. ## If you stop paying - ### On Hovercode. You move to the free plan, and the first 3 dynamic codes stay active. "Anything beyond those limits becomes inactive but is not deleted." Codes on a custom domain stop working. - ### On Nimbli. Nothing is deleted and every link keeps working\. Links on a custom domain work as before for 30 days from the day Pro ends\. After that, visitors see a Nimbli page showing where the link goes, with a Go to this page button, so printed codes still reach their pages\. On the free plan, while the teams you own hold 25 links or more between them, none of them can add another. ## What Hovercode does well Hovercode's free plan has unlimited static QR codes, and it says plainly that the plan is not a time-limited trial. Its paid plans include all design and customization options, and its analytics go from basic, with 3 months of history, on the free plan to 12 months on Pro. If you need those, Hovercode may suit you better. ## If you need more room Nimbli Pro is $6 a month or $60 a year, plus tax where it applies. It holds 250 links across your teams and up to 10 people in each team, and 2 custom domains: your own address on links and printed codes, such as go.yourcafe.com/menu. See [Pricing](/pricing). Printed codes stay yours\: if you ever leave, download your links \(each code and where it goes\), set them up wherever you go next and point your domain there\. Nothing printed has to be reprinted\. For comparison, Hovercode's Pro is $12 a month or $120 a year, with 100 dynamic codes and 1 custom domain. Its Business plan is $39 a month and Business Plus $99 a month. ## Sources - Hovercode: its [pricing page](https://hovercode.com/pricing/), read on November 5, 2026. - Nimbli: [Pricing](/pricing), [Our promise](/promise), the [Terms](/terms#8-paid-plans) and the [Privacy policy](/privacy).
