Uniqode v/s Bitly

Yes. Export your destination URLs from Bitly, recreate the codes in Uniqode, and point your redirects to the new links. If your codes are on a custom domain you own, they migrate cleanly and keep working everywhere they are already printed. If they are on the default bit.ly domain, those codes will stop working when your Bitly account lapses, so plan new prints for those campaigns.

No. Your scan history lives in Bitly until your account closes. Export it as a CSV before you leave and you will have a permanent copy. Uniqode starts tracking each code fresh from the day it goes live on the platform.

Only if your codes use the default bit.ly domain. QR Codes on a custom domain you own can be redirected to Uniqode without touching anything already printed: packaging, signage, mailers, and event materials all keep working. A dedicated customer success manager walks you through the move at no extra cost.

You can start creating QR Codes on Uniqode the same week. Existing codes migrate while your Bitly term winds down, so there is no gap in campaign coverage.

Uniqode is the better choice for QR-led marketing campaigns. Bitly is strong for tracking links across email, SMS, and social, but its QR analytics stop at the click layer. Uniqode fires a Meta Pixel or GA4 event at the moment of scan, before a landing page loads, so a billboard or mailer gets measured and retargeted like any digital channel.

Uniqode is the better choice for product packaging. Packaging gets printed months ahead, but with Uniqode you can change where a printed code points: a recipe page this season, a contest next season, a new product launch after that. Bulk generation handles an entire SKU list in one CSV upload. Bitly's Growth plan caps you at 10 QR codes per month, and Premium ($199/month) at 200, which a real catalog hits fast.

Uniqode is the only option for regulated industries. Uniqode holds HIPAA certification and signs BAAs, covering QR-linked data collection in healthcare workflows. Bitly's SOC 2 certification covers its link management platform and does not extend to healthcare-grade QR data collection.

Uniqode is the better pick for events. Per-placement attribution shows which booth, poster, or session drove scans. Smart Rules let one code route to different destinations by time of day, so a morning session and an afternoon panel share the same printed code. Bitly tracks scans but has no conditional routing and no GPS-level attribution.

Uniqode is the better pick for restaurant menus. Smart Rules route the same code to a lunch menu at noon and a dinner menu in the evening. When a price changes, you update it once and every table reflects it instantly. No reprinting, no manual edits per table.

Either works for a one-off. A static code from either platform prints once and scans forever, free. If the destination might change after printing, you need a dynamic code. Uniqode's start at $15/month with 50 codes included; Bitly's Core plan gives 5 dynamic codes at $10/month.

Uniqode publishes five plans: $15, $49, $99, and $399 a month, plus Enterprise, billed annually. Bitly publishes four: Core ($10/month), Growth ($29/month), Premium ($199/month), and Enterprise (custom pricing).

It depends on what you are counting. Bitly's Core plan looks cheaper at $10/month, but includes only 5 dynamic QR codes per month. Uniqode's Lite plan at $15/month includes 50. At roughly 10 times the QR capacity, Uniqode is the lower cost per dynamic code the moment you run more than a couple of campaigns.

Uniqode offers a 14-day free trial on paid plans, including dynamic QR Code creation. Bitly offers a free tier with 2 static QR codes per month, and no trial on paid plans.

Bitly is the cheaper way to start if you only need basic link tracking. If QR Codes are part of the plan, Uniqode is the better value from the first paid tier: 50 dynamic codes at $15/month versus 5 at $10/month on Bitly Core.

Both generate the standard set: website, vCard, Wi-Fi, PDF, app download, and social links. Uniqode adds Smart Rules codes, GPS-conditional redirects, multi-language routing, forms, and Linkpages. Bitly generates QR codes as an extension of its short links, with no conditional routing on any plan.

Do Uniqode and Bitly support bulk QR generation? Uniqode bulk-creates up to 2,000 dynamic codes per batch via CSV from $49/month. Bitly's Growth plan ($29/month) caps you at 10 QR codes per month total, so bulk creation is only practical from the Premium tier ($199/month) at 200 codes per batch.

Uniqode connects natively to GA4 from the $49/month plan, firing a scan event the moment a code is scanned. Bitly requires UTM parameters added manually to destination URLs and relies on page-level tracking rather than scan-level events.

Uniqode password-protects any QR Code on paid plans. Bitly does not offer password protection on QR Codes on any plan.

Yes, both offer digital business cards. Uniqode manages QR Codes, linkpages, and business cards natively in one dashboard, purpose-built for each use case. Bitly's business cards are built on top of its Bitly Pages linkpage product, making them less purpose-built for professional networking and contact exchange.
