Most vendors retire or restrict dynamic codes when you cancel.
AI agent access (MCP)
API and MCP access on every plan, including Free

Existing dynamic codes keep their destinations after cancellation. Expired, capped or inactive codes use your fallback. Cancellation alone does not trigger the fallback. See our longevity guarantee or full comparisons.
Common questions
Does every new account start with a trial?
Yes. Every new account gets a 7-day Pro trial, no card required. Smart routing, A/B testing, password protection, and custom domains are all active from day one. When the trial ends your account moves to the free tier unless you subscribe.
What happens if I cancel?
Your existing dynamic codes keep their destinations after cancellation. Your account moves to Free, with its limits on new codes and features. Expired, capped or inactive codes use your fallback. Cancellation alone does not trigger the fallback.
Do scans count toward my plan limit?
Scans count against the monthly scan cap on your tier. The other plan limit (dynamic code count) is the number of codes you can edit or redirect, not the number of times they get scanned.
Can I change plans anytime?
Yes. Upgrades and downgrades are prorated by Stripe. Annual subscribers can switch to a higher tier mid-cycle and only pay the difference.
Do you offer annual billing?
Yes. Annual saves about 20% compared to monthly. The exact saving is shown on the toggle.
Is the free tier really free forever?
Yes. The Free plan has no subscription charge or time limit, and no card is required. Its code and monthly scan limits still apply.
Print once. Scan forever.
The free tier gives you 100 dynamic codes and unlimited static codes. You can upgrade later without losing a single code.
