QR codes for real estate
A yard sign lives outside for weeks, and the listing behind it changes constantly: price drops, new photos, a different listing URL, eventually "sold." A static QR printed on the sign can't keep up, and reprinting riders every time the listing moves isn't realistic.
With TangoQR, the code on the sign points at a redirect you control. Repoint it to the updated listing, a price-drop page, a "book a showing" form, or a new agent profile. The sign stays exactly as printed. One code on the rider can carry a property from "just listed" through "under contract" without a trip to the print shop.
It's editable on the free plan, so an individual agent can run sign codes without buying a platform. Each code shows total scans on every plan, with detailed scan analytics for its first 50 scans, enough to see whether a particular sign is pulling interest. Brand it with your colors and logo on any plan.
When the property sells, repoint the code to your other listings or your profile instead of letting it die. The redirect keeps working forever, even if you pause your subscription between listings.
A worked example. A sign rider carries a TangoQR code pointing at the listing page. The price drops; you repoint the code to a "new price" page in seconds. The home goes under contract; you repoint it again to your other listings. Same printed rider, three different destinations, zero reprints.
Getting started
Three steps:
- Paste the listing link into the builder on the home page.
- Brand it, download the SVG (it scales crisp to sign size), and print the rider.
- Repoint the code as the listing changes: price, status, or your profile when it sells.
Common questions
How do I make a QR code?
On the TangoQR home page, paste your link into the builder and a QR code appears right away. Download it as a PNG or an SVG and put it wherever it needs to go.
You don't need an account for your first code. If you want to come back and change where it points later, add your email when you download it so it's saved to your inbox, then sign in with that email.
Do I need an account to use TangoQR?
Not for your first code. Paste a link, get the QR, download it; no signup. To save a code so you can manage it later, enter your email when you download it; we'll send the code to your inbox. When you sign in (with Google, Apple, Facebook, GitHub or Microsoft) using that same email, the codes you saved are linked to your account automatically.
What makes a TangoQR code different from a regular QR code?
A plain QR code from most free tools has your URL baked straight into the pattern. Print it, and it can never change; if the link dies, the code dies with it.
A TangoQR code points at a short redirect we host, not at your link directly. The image stays the same forever; you change where the redirect sends people whenever you want. So a printed menu, sign, flyer or box keeps working even after the page behind it moves. This is true on every plan, including the free one; it's not a paid feature.
Can I change where my code points after I've printed it?
Yes; that's the point of TangoQR. From your dashboard (Your codes), click the pencil icon labelled Edit destination next to the code, type the new URL, and click Save. The printed image doesn't change; everyone who scans it from now on lands at the new destination.
Editing destinations is included on Pro across every code, and on the free plan for each code's first 50 scans. See pricing for the details.
Will my printed codes break if I change the destination?
No. The QR image is just a pointer to a TangoQR redirect; when you edit a code, only the redirect's target changes. Codes already printed on menus, signs, packaging or flyers keep working; they just send people to the new place.
Do my codes keep working if I cancel or downgrade?
Yes. Every code keeps resolving to the last destination you set, on every plan, forever; the redirect never switches off. If you cancel a paid plan or downgrade, your dashboard reverts to free-plan behavior (editing and detailed analytics lock; the total scan count still shows), but printed codes keep redirecting. Re-subscribe and everything turns back on with nothing lost.
What scan analytics do I get?
Every plan shows the total scan count for each code; on your dashboard, each code lists how many times it's been scanned. On Pro you also get the breakdowns across every code: which regions scans come from, what devices people use, what times of day they scan, and how scans add up over time. On the free plan you get the same breakdowns per code for its first 50 scans. Expand a code on your dashboard to see its detail view.
What happens to a free code's detailed analytics after 50 scans?
The total scan count keeps ticking up; that's your signal the code is working. The breakdowns (region, device, time of day, scans over time) move behind an upgrade once a code passes 50 scans on the free plan. Upgrade to Pro and the detailed analytics come back on every code. The limit is per code, so codes still under 50 scans are unaffected. See pricing.
Can I put my own logo in the center of the code?
Yes; on every plan, including free. You can drop a logo into the middle of the code, pick your colors, and save styles to reuse. Custom branding isn't a paid feature; it's there from the start.
(One thing that's plan-specific: free-plan images carry a small TangoQR wordmark in the corner. That comes off on Pro.)
Does the free plan put a TangoQR mark on my codes?
Yes; free-plan images have the TangoQR wordmark in the corner. It sits alongside your own logo (it doesn't replace it). On Pro the wordmark is off, with no per-code toggle; paid means clean codes. See pricing.
Can I change the QR code's colors?
Yes, on every plan. Set the code's colors to match your brand, and save the style so your next code uses the same look. Keep enough contrast between the pattern and the background so scanners can read it cleanly.
What do the plans cost?
Free is $0. Pro is $10 a month, or $100 a year (two months free). The pricing page has the full comparison.
How does the free plan work?
You can make unlimited codes for free. Each code gets the full product (editing the destination and the detailed analytics) for its first 50 scans. After that, those move behind an upgrade for that code, but the code keeps redirecting forever and the image stays downloadable, and the total scan count keeps showing. The 50-scan limit is per code, not per account: a code that never passes 50 scans stays fully editable for free, forever. See pricing for the details.
How do I upgrade, change plans, or cancel?
To upgrade, open your dashboard and click Upgrade; that takes you to a secure checkout. Once you're on a paid plan, a Manage billing link on your dashboard opens the billing portal, where you can switch plans, update your card, or cancel. If you cancel, your codes keep redirecting; the dashboard just reverts to free-plan behavior.
Is there a free trial of Pro?
There's no time-based trial. Instead, every code on the free plan gets Pro-level editing and detailed analytics for its first 50 scans, so you see the value on real codes before you pay for anything. If you want it across all your codes from then on, upgrade to Pro. See pricing.
Can I keep codes I made before I signed up?
Yes. If you added your email when you saved a code (the "save it to your inbox" step at download), then signing in with that same email links those codes to your account automatically. The first time you sign in you'll see them gathered up under your account, ready to edit and track.
What formats can I download my code in, and can I re-download it later?
PNG and SVG. Use the SVG for anything that prints large; it scales to any size with no fuzziness. PNG is fine for screens and small print. You can download a code again any time from your dashboard, and if you saved a code to your inbox, the email has it too.
My QR code won't scan
Usually it's size, contrast, or cropping:
- Size: print it big enough for the distance people scan from; a table tent can be small, a yard sign or poster needs to be larger. Use the SVG so it stays crisp at any size.
- Contrast: keep the pattern dark on a light background (or vice versa). Very light colors or busy backgrounds behind the code hurt readability.
- Cropping: don't trim the quiet space around the code, and don't cover too much of it with a logo.
