Comparison
Enqre vs WantQR: an honest comparison
WantQR bundles a link shortener with a QR generator and prices both cheaply. Their pricing page is also unusually explicit about something most vendors leave out, so it deserves the spotlight: how long your codes and your analytics are stored.
What WantQR is good at
QR codes and short links in one product, at a price that undercuts most of the category, with a clean and simple plan chart. If you shorten links as often as you make codes, having both in one place is a genuine convenience. Publishing the retention and storage windows on the pricing page is a small act of honesty that most of this category avoids, and it deserves credit even when the numbers are short.
Side by side
Their column carries only what their own pricing page states. Where it is silent, this table says so instead of guessing — a missing line is not a missing feature.

When to choose WantQR
- You want a link shortener and a QR generator from the same account, cheaply.
- Your codes are for campaigns that end within the year and the storage window is not a problem.
- Most of what you make is short links, and QR codes are the occasional extra.
When to choose Enqre
- You print things that outlive a campaign. Their plans state a storage window for codes — 6, 12 or 18 months on the listed plans; codes here have no expiry on any plan, including free.
- You want more than a month of analytics history: paid plans here keep everything, and the free plan keeps 30 days.
- You need GS1, API, webhooks or white-label, which their pricing page does not mention.
- You want your own domain on the redirect and no mention of us in what the scanner sees.

The bottom line
As a cheap shortener-plus-codes combo for campaigns that end within the year, it holds up. Anything printed on packaging, signage or a menu outlives an 18-month storage window, and that is the difference worth paying for. Ask yourself one question before choosing here: will anything you print still be in someone's hand after the storage window on your plan runs out? For a table tent the answer is usually yes.
Try it before you decide
Five codes, free forever, no card — and no storage window. A code printed today still resolves in five years, on the free plan.
