Create QR codes you can trust. No ads. No tracking. Most QR apps include ads or secret tracking. Pure QR Code keeps things clean and straightforward. Create a QR code in seconds: • Paste a link • Generate instantly • Test before sharing • Save or share locally No accounts. No ads. No tracking. Everything stays on your device. Before sharing, you can test your QR code inside the app to confirm it opens the correct link. This helps catch mistakes early and gives you confidence before sending it to others. You can also save QR codes with a name and optional note, so you can find and reuse them later. Saved codes are stored locally on your iPhone. Pure QR Code is useful for sharing links like menus, events, weddings, parties, portfolios, forms, social pages, or business information. There are no hidden redirects or link changes. What you create is exactly what gets tested, saved, and shared. You stay in control. Simple tools tend to stay useful longer. That’s the idea behind Pure QR Code.

Verdict
The clearest difference is price: Pairy at Free against Pure QR Code's $0.99. Pairy also leads on update cadence (daily vs every 8 days) and iOS requirement (17.4 vs 26.1). Pure QR Code's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 3) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.
