ReportSkills vs QRCard AI (2026)
Capture at the point of contact against delivery on a date
| What matters | QRCard AI | ReportSkills |
|---|---|---|
| The object it produces | A printed QR card: card face, mobile page behind the code, live status layer | A branded report: PDF plus hosted web version, one per recipient |
| Where the data comes from | The scans themselves — people fill a short form or answer one question on their phone | Tables you already hold: pasted rows, CSV uploads, exported form results |
| When it goes out | Real time, one submission at a time; a room screen mirrors results in seconds | On a cadence: monthly, biweekly, weekly, the Nth weekday, last business day, quarterly — one press, N reports |
| Per-recipient wording | One card face per activity; the content behind the code stays editable after printing | Text blocks rewritten per recipient under rules the sender writes |
| Record of delivery | Per-card analytics, live counts, CSV of everything collected | Delivery log across the batch: generated, sent, opened, reminded, archived |
| Offline and in the room | Its home ground: business card, table card, A6 tent, 58 mm badge; projection screen; no app and no login for the scanner | Only the reader's side: the report link is phone-readable and QR-friendly |
| Questions, scales, scoring | One action per card — sign up, check in, answer once; no scored assessment | No question engine either; numbers arrive as data, layout placed by the program |
| Programmer surface | Read-only data endpoint per card so your own script can chart results | Live web version per report; HTTP and database connectors on the roadmap |
| Charging meter | Free carries the whole product up to 10 live cards; Plus lifts the cap at a checkout-localised price | Basic free with 10 active templates; Plus $19/mo flat — recipients and archive are not metered |

Pick QRCard AI when…
- The job is capturing something in a room, at a counter or on a desk: sign-ups, check-ins, feedback, contact details.
- You need the paper to stay true after printing — spots left, deadline, waitlist switching on its own.
- The scanner must finish in seconds without installing or signing in to anything.
Pick ReportSkills when…
- Nobody is scanning anything — you already hold this month's numbers and owe each client a document.
- The work is a calendar: the same report, every client, on the same date, without you pressing send.
- You want proof of delivery afterwards: who got which report, who opened it, when the reminder went.

Frequently asked questions
How much does QRCard AI cost?
Read from qrcard-ai.com on October 19, 2026: the free plan carries the whole product — generate, print and share working cards, all themes and print sizes, PNG/SVG/PDF export, live capacity and waitlist, per-card analytics, the projection screen and CSV export of everything collected, with no 'powered by' line on the card face. The limit is 10 live cards per account. Plus lifts that cap and is purchasable today, with price and currency shown at checkout rather than a fixed figure; Pro (multiple members and a shared library) is in planning. Verify at the source before deciding.
What does ReportSkills do that QRCard AI does not?
The recurring calendar. A cadence — monthly, weekly, the Nth weekday, last business day, quarterly — presses one template into a report per recipient from their own slice of a table, emails the branded PDF with a hosted web version linked, and keeps a delivery log of generated, sent, opened and reminded across the batch. Missing figures ship as labeled placeholders instead of a late report. QRCard AI has no schedule, no batch press and no per-recipient delivery log; it is a capture object, not a delivery pipeline.
What does QRCard AI do that ReportSkills does not?
The room. One sentence becomes a printable card whose code stays editable after printing: spots left, deadlines and auto-waitlist update on the paper itself; the scanner finishes one action in seconds with no app and no login; a projection screen mirrors submissions live with presenter keys; collected rows export as CSV and each card exposes a read-only data endpoint. ReportSkills has no QR generator, no print surfaces and no live collection — it reads data that already exists.
Can a card's collected data feed a report?
Yes, by the plain route: a card's responses come out as CSV, and pasted tables and CSV are the two inputs ReportSkills runs on today. That is a file handoff like any other export — a spreadsheet, a ledger or a roster behaves the same way. Nothing about the handoff makes one tool a substitute for the other: the card is still the thing people scan, and the report is still the document owed on a date.
Is ReportSkills a QRCard AI alternative?
Only for what happens after the collection. If the deliverable is a printed card people scan to sign up, check in or answer one question, QRCard AI does that and ReportSkills does not — there is no code generator and no room screen here. If the deliverable is the document that follows: each client's own numbers for the period, laid out once, generated one per recipient, mailed on a date, with opens logged, then ReportSkills replaces the spreadsheet-and-mail-it-myself step a capture tool leaves open. Their official site publishes plans and limits at https://qrcard-ai.com.
