AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Pivot QR is a newly-listed WordPress app with a limited review volume. It is listed in the Redirect category on WordPress Plugin Directory, which AppRanks treats as the canonical taxonomy node for ranking and competitor comparison. no published reviews yet means feature claims are unverified by the wider merchant base. Without a published review base, the only fit-signal available is the developer's own documentation plus the marketplace's listing-quality audit (linked below). Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +Published by foryou, inc. — established developer track record
Cons

How Pivot QR works
Show full descriptionShow less
Pivot QR turns your WordPress site’s domain into a redirect service. Generate short URLs like example.com/ab together with matching QR codes, then change where they redirect to at any time — without ever reprinting the QR.
This is especially useful for printed flyers, packaging, business cards, signage, and seasonal campaigns where the printed QR cannot be reissued but the destination URL needs to change.
Key features
Short URLs at your domain root — e.g. example.com/ab.
Adjustable slug length — 2 to 8 characters. Shorter slugs produce sparser QR codes; longer slugs give a larger address space.
Edit slugs after creation — rename any short URL after it has been issued.
QR downloads — PNG, JPG, and SVG output at any size from 100 to 1000 px.
Embed code — copy-ready <img> and <svg> HTML snippets for posts and product pages.
Scheduled destinations — optional start/end dates and multiple schedules per link, with automatic switchover.
Per-device redirects — send iPhone, Android, and PC visitors to different URLs (perfect for App Store / Google Play routing).
Built-in analytics — daily breakdown of QR scans vs. direct short-URL clicks, rendered as a chart.
Reserved paths — protect existing pages from being accidentally captured.
Total click counter — see at a glance how many times each link has been hit.
Privacy Pivot QR stores data only in your own WordPress database. It does not phone home, it does not call third-party services, and it does not embed any tracking. Visitor IP addresses, user agents, and referrers from redirect hits are stored locally for analytics; uninstalling the plugin removes everything.
Bundled libraries To work on shared hosting (no Composer or PHP image library required), Pivot QR bundles the following permissively licensed libraries inside the plugin folder. Nothing is loaded from external CDNs.
