# D-QR > Dynamic QR codes: the destination can be changed after the code is printed, so every copy already in circulation follows within seconds. Scan analytics exclude automated traffic — link unfurlers, search crawlers, uptime monitors, scripted clients and mail-security scanners are recorded separately and kept out of every count. Print output is vector CMYK PDF with near-black separated K-only and the four-module quiet zone enforced. Free plan: 1 dynamic codes, no expiry, no card. Paid plans from $5/mo; $9/mo removes the cap on dynamic codes.

The risk is that a QR code is unreadable to humans, which makes it an unusually good way to hide a link. - [What Is a Dynamic QR Code?](https://getdynamicqr.com/blog/what-is-a-dynamic-qr-code): A dynamic QR code stores a redirect, not a destination.
