Our Sources and Evidence Standards
We use a mix of primary and reliable secondary sources, depending on the topic.
We go back to the original source of information whenever possible. We always check that anything we claim is factual.
Below you can see the sources we use, ranked by order of importance:
|
Source type |
Examples |
|---|---|
| Primary sources | Technical standards, official documentation, QR Now testing, original data, laws and public bodies, and written vendor information |
| Reliable secondary sources | Specialist publications with named authors, recognized media, independent reviews with clear methods, and professional organizations |
| Sources used with extra caution | Press releases, sponsored or affiliate content, unauthored blogs, statistics without clear methods, social media, AI summaries, and pages that do not link to the original source |
Primary sources always carry the most weight in our research. We also use secondary sources to help add context and different viewpoints.
Sources in the final category are checked carefully and are not normally used alone for important factual claims.
Official vendor information can help verify published product details, but we do not treat a provider’s promotional claims as independent evidence of product superiority.
How We Use AI and Automation
QR Now may use AI to support tasks such as:
- Research
- Content planning
- Editing
- Translation
Our team uses these tools to work more efficiently. However, our writers and editors remain responsible for reviewing and approving content before publication.
We use appropriate sources to check material factual claims. We do not treat AI-generated answers as evidence or use AI to invent information, sources, quotations, or test results.

QRNow’s Writing & Editing Stages
From the initial idea to the publication of an article, we aim to provide an editorial process that provides you access to valuable information that meets our high standards.
Topic selection and editorial brief
We choose topics based on user needs, search trends, industry developments, and new uses of QR technology.
Research and source collection
During the research phase, our writers gather the information needed to cover the topic. Research follows our Sources and Evidence Standards, with priority given to original and authoritative sources.
Drafting
Content is written to be practical and easy to understand. Technical concepts are explained in plain language, with useful examples where they help the reader.
Fact-checking and technical review
Important claims, statistics, instructions, and technical details are checked before publication. Specialist review may also be used when a topic requires additional expertise.
Editorial and accessibility review
Editors check the content for accuracy, clarity, structure, grammar, and readability. We also make sure it works well across desktop and mobile devices and is easy to navigate.
Publication and monitoring
Once published, content is monitored for changes that could affect its accuracy. We update pages when products, technology, guidance, or other important information changes.
Review Levels Based on Content Risk
Not every topic covered in our content carries the same level of risk. Content that could affect your security, privacy, legal rights, health, or finances receives additional checks and, where needed, specialist review.
The table below outlines how we protect our readers with addition checks:
|
Content type |
Minimum review |
|---|---|
| Marketing and general content | Writer + editor |
| Product guides and tutorials | Writer + editor + product check |
| Technical content | Writer + technical reviewer |
| Security and privacy | Writer + security or privacy specialist |
| Legal or regulatory content | Primary legal or government sources + specialist review where needed |
| Health, payments, or financial topics | Relevant specialist review or clearly limited scope |
Where the necessary expertise is unavailable, we limit the content to supported, non-advisory product information or do not publish the guidance.
How We Keep Our Content Up to Date
QR code technology and our services change over time. We review and update our content regularly, whenever new information could affect its accuracy or usefulness.
We make updates whenever there are:
- Changes to QR Now features or pricing
- Updates from platforms we compare
- New technical standards or official guidance
- Changes to laws, privacy rules, or security practices
- New research or more reliable sources
- Errors identified by our team or readers

Our team will update the page as soon as the information has been verified.
Translation and Localization Policy
QR Now uses in-house translation and localization teams to adapt content for the languages and markets we serve.
Translated content follows the same standards for accuracy, sourcing, and editorial review as our original content.
How We Research and Compare QR Code Platforms
We regularly compare QR Now with other QR code platforms, with the aim of helping you understand how their features, pricing, limits, and overall experience differ. We try to make each comparison as fair, clear, and useful as possible.
Below, you can find out how we research and test each service in order to achieve this goal.
Our relationship with the products we compare
QRNow is our own product, so we have a commercial interest in its adoption and use. This relationship should be disclosed near the beginning of each comparison.
To reduce bias, we apply the same criteria to each service. Depending on the scope of the comparison, our research may draw on:
- Hands-on testing
- Official product information
- Publicly available documentation
We also highlight areas where a competitor performs better when the evidence supports it.
How we select competitors
Competitors that offer established QR code platforms are selected by comparing the services they offer with QRNow’s own services.
If they have similar core features and target audiences, and we believe that the comparison is relevant and useful, we choose them.
What we evaluate
Each comparison looks at the areas that matter most when choosing a QR code platform, including:
- Pricing
- QR types
- Usage limits
- Customization
- Analytics
- Integrations
- Ease of use
- Support
- Security
- Team features
We also consider how simple each platform is to use in practice, and compare the trials they offer.
Our evidence and verification standards
Where we carry out hands-on testing, we use it to understand how the tools work in practice. We also review official product documentation, help centers, and feature pages.
Our conclusions are limited to the features, plans, and tasks we have tested or verified through reliable documentation. We do not describe documentation-based research as hands-on experience.
When useful, we also look at how other leading QR platforms describe their competitors. This helps us identify relevant comparison points, but we verify factual claims against original sources before including them.
Each new or substantively updated comparison should include a short methodology note identifying the verification date, plans assessed, tests actually performed, documentation used, and material limitations. Where relevant, screenshots, examples, or recorded observations should support findings based on hands-on testing.
How we test other QR code platforms
Whenever possible, testing covers the same core tasks on each platform. This usually includes:
- Creating static and dynamic QR codes
- Customization tools
- Checking analytics
- Reviewing account controls
- Exploring support options
We also compare the aspects of the user experience covered by our assessment, including the interface, navigation, and QR creation process.
We distinguish between reviewing available support options and evaluating support through direct interaction. Similarly, reviewing published security features does not constitute an independent security audit.
How we compare pricing and limits
We compare the current published prices, plan structures, usage limits, and key features included at each level.
We explain exactly what you will get access to with each plan, and how it compares to similar QRNow plans.
Our scoring and recommendation methods
Our aim is to focus on the areas that matter most to users, such as:
- Value
- Ease of use
- Features
- Limits
- Support
We explain where each platform performs best and where another option may be a better fit for certain needs.
Handling unverified information
If we cannot confirm an aspect of another service through testing or reliable documentation, we do not present it as fact.
We may describe it as not publicly documented or leave it out of the comparison until we can verify it. A feature that is not publicly documented should not be treated as unavailable solely for that reason.
