Switching from QR Code Creator: common questions
What is the best alternative to QR Code Creator?
QR Code Composer is the closest match: it shares the QR Code Plugins top 10 with QR Code Creator and has 3,000+ active installs with a 4.2 out of 5 rating.
Which QR Code Creator alternative has the most users?
UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce, with 20,000+ active installs reported by WordPress.org.
Which QR Code Creator alternative is rated highest?
Bangladeshi Payment Gateways, rated 5.0 out of 5 by 91 reviewers. Only plugins with at least 50 reviews are counted.
Are these QR Code Creator alternatives free?
Every plugin listed here is free to install from WordPress.org. Where WordPress.org marks a plugin as commercial, the developer also sells a paid version or add-ons, and that is shown on each plugin.
How are alternatives chosen?
Automatically, from WordPress.org data: plugins that share a category top 10 with QR Code Creator score highest, then plugins that appear in the same WordPress.org rankings, then plugins with the same tags, weighted so rare tags count more than common ones. Plugins by the same author and plugins rated under 4.0 are left out.
How we choose these alternatives
Nothing on this page is picked by hand. Every day we walk the whole WordPress.org directory, then score every plugin against QR Code Creator on three signals: sharing a category top 10 counts most, then appearing in the same WordPress.org rankings, then carrying the same tags, with rare tags counting for more than common ones like "wordpress". Plugins by the same author are excluded, so an author's own add-ons cannot fill the list, and so is anything rated below 4.0 or with fewer than 100 active installs. The ten highest scores are what you see, in that order. Full methodology.
The bottom line
QR Code Composer is the closest match to QR Code Creator by the data we track, and UPI QR Code Payment Gateway for WooCommerce has the widest reach with 20,000+ active installs. Eventin shipped the most recent release, on August 27, 2026. The list is rebuilt every day from WordPress.org, so a plugin that stops being maintained drops out on its own.
