Permly vs QR TIGER
The free codes stop at 500 scans, and paid codes stop when the plan lapses. For a wedding invitation or a menu that's a real risk. Permly's editable codes have no scan limit and are paid once.
This compares editable codes, the kind you can change after printing. Regular codes, where the link is drawn into the picture, are free on both sites and can't stop working anywhere.

When QR TIGER is the better choice
You want lots of design options and a big feature list, and you're going to pay for a plan anyway.
When Permly is
You're printing something that has to keep working: an invitation, a menu, a sign. You want to be able to change where it sends people later, you'd rather pay once than every month, and you don't want to make an account just to get a simple code. Make a free code, or see the two prices.
