A Codeworks × Vidya initiative

TSR — Technology Social
Responsibility

Companies talk about corporate social responsibility. We think technology companies owe something more specific: the essential digital tools people need every day should be free and available to everyone. QRWorks is the first product Codeworks × Vidya have built on that belief.


Why QR codes, first?

Because a QR code is infrastructure, not a luxury. A street vendor putting a payment code on a board, a family printing a wedding invite, a school sharing a form, a small restaurant replacing laminated menus — none of them should need a subscription to do it.

Yet the industry charges heavily for exactly this. Competing platforms ask upwards of ₹20,000 a year to keep a dynamic QR code alive — a code that, technically, costs almost nothing to run. A scan is one tiny database write. We know, because we built the whole thing.

When the cost of providing something is nearly zero, charging like it's scarce isn't business — it's a toll gate.

So we removed the toll gate. Every core feature of QRWorks — dynamic codes you can repoint after printing, designs, hosted pages, scan analytics — is free, with no trial timer and no watermark.


What TSR means in practice

1

Free where it's essential

If a tool is basic infrastructure for ordinary people and small businesses, it ships free. Not free-for-14-days. Not free-until-you-need-it-to-work.

2

Built to last

A printed QR code lives on walls, cards and menus for years. That makes uptime a responsibility, not a feature — so we run it like one.

3

Honest about limits

Generous quotas exist so the free promise stays sustainable for everyone — not to nudge you toward a paywall that isn't there.

Our commitment

Printed codes can't be recalled. So here is what we hold ourselves to:

  • ✓Core QR features stay free. Creating, editing and scanning dynamic codes will not move behind a paywall.
  • ✓Your codes keep resolving. If we ever stop taking new sign-ups, existing codes continue to redirect — we won't let printed material die quietly.
  • ✓No ads on your pages. The menu, card or offer your customer scans belongs to you, not to an advertiser.
  • ✓We don't sell your data. Scan analytics are yours; we don't build profiles or sell audiences.

How it's funded

Codeworks × Vidya is a partnership between two teams that build software for clients. That client work is the business, and it pays for this. QRWorks costs us little to run and earns us something more valuable than subscription revenue: the trust of the people who use it.

If QRWorks helps your business and you ever need software built properly, you'll know who we are. That's the entire model. No dark patterns, no upsell funnel.

Free, because it should be.
