Master QR Code Generator – Fast & Easy QR Code Creator


The pro version looks to have most of the features you'd want and has a relatively cheap lifetime licence.  It would appear that at least for my purposes the free version is not useful as it is very limited and doesn't provide shortcode support.  I like to try the free versions of many plugins before selection so that rules me out for this one.  I will (at least for now) continue to use the "Kaya QR Code Generator" plugin.


PRO looks Excellent, FREE not so much

Generates QR codes for every page, post, product, and custom post for the WordPress website.
