Print it once.

Free on every plan, including the Free plan. Open your dashboard, download the QR for your page, print it. There's no scan limit, no expiration date, and no 'upgrade to keep your code working' email three weeks after you've printed 500 business cards. Paid plans upgrade the analytics around the code, not the code itself.

No — that's the whole point. The QR encodes your page URL (hasl.ink/yourname), not any individual link. Swap your menu PDF, retire a promo, add a booking link, redesign the entire page: the printed code keeps working because the destination is the page, and the page is live. You reprint when the cardstock wears out, not when your content changes.

That's the one thing that breaks a printed code, so be honest with yourself before the print run. The QR encodes hasl.ink/yourusername — rename the username and old prints point at a dead URL. Pick a name you'll keep (your business name, your artist name) before ordering 1,000 table tents. On the Creator plan you can also put the page on your own domain, which you control forever.

A scan opens your page, and hasl.ink records it like any visit: timestamp, device type, browser, and OS, all in your analytics time-series. QR traffic arrives with no referrer, so a direct-traffic spike right after you put codes on tables or a merch stand is your scan signal. The Free plan shows the last 7 days; Pro ($6/mo) keeps your full history; Creator ($15/mo) adds country and city, so yard-sign scans in Austin look different from card scans in Berlin.

Dynamic QR services charge $5–15/mo to keep a redirect alive — stop paying and every printed code dies. hasl.ink flips the model: the code is static and free, and the destination is a page you edit. You get the same 'change it after printing' superpower without a subscription whose only job is forwarding a URL. And the scanner lands on your full page — links, socials, AI chat — not a single hardcoded address.

Rule of thumb: scanning distance is about 10x the code width. A 2 cm (0.8 in) code scans fine from a hand-held phone — good for business cards and packaging inserts. For a table tent, go 4–5 cm. For a yard sign or event slide scanned from meters away, print it 15 cm or larger. Keep dark-on-light contrast and leave a quiet border around the code — the format is just squares, so it scales to any size without quality loss.
