Is QuickUnfold free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Creating short links, generating QR codes, and viewing analytics are free, and no account or payment is required.

It shows total clicks, estimated unique visitors, human versus bot traffic, clicks over time, referrers, UTM campaign sources, devices, browsers, and approximate country-level geography.

Yes. You can create multiple QR codes per link, each with its own scan tracking, so you can compare where scans come from.

Accepted Answer

QuickUnfold works with no signup, gives you a private management link instead of an account, and focuses on human-friendly insights and a visual Link Journey rather than a login-gated dashboard.
