Alternative to VineQR

Looking for a VineQR alternative? Meet Winetraqr.

VineQR and Winetraqr both turn your wine labels into EU-compliant QR codes. Winetraqr adds a permanent free tier, customizable QR colors, optional scan analytics, team accounts and an optional branded marketing page on top of compliance.

Why wineries switch from VineQR to Winetraqr

  • Stay free forever instead of upgrading after a 2-week trial expires
  • Customize your QR code colors to match your label and brand
  • Turn on optional, opt-in scan analytics to see who scans your labels, where, and when
  • Invite teammates and manage multiple brands from one shared account
  • Add an optional branded marketing page behind every QR, not just a compliance label
  • Pay monthly or annually in EUR or USD

What you get with Winetraqr

Permanent free tier, no credit card

Winetraqr has a free plan you can use indefinitely to publish a compliant EU label. VineQR offers a 2-week free trial on its smallest paid tier, after which a paid subscription is required.

Customizable QR code colors

Optional scan analytics

Optional scan analytics turn every QR code into a data point: total scans, country, time and engagement, all in a clean dashboard. You control when they're on.

Team and multi-brand accounts

Invite teammates and manage multiple brands from one login.

Optional marketing page behind the QR

Optionally add a branded page with hero image, text and links, served from the same QR your label already carries. The marketing page is opt-in per wine.

Monthly or annual billing

Frequently asked

FAQ

  • Can I import my VineQR labels into Winetraqr?

    If you can export your wine data from VineQR, we'll help you get it imported into Winetraqr. Email hi@winetraqr.com with your export and we'll handle the migration with you.

  • Do I need to redesign or reprint my labels to switch?

    Yes, the QR code itself changes when you change vendors, so labels printed with a VineQR QR will keep pointing to VineQR. Plan the switch around your next print run.

  • Is there a free trial?

    Winetraqr has a free plan, not a time-limited trial. Use it as long as you need; upgrade only when you want extras like analytics, team accounts, the marketing page or custom QR colors.

  • Which is cheaper for a winery with under 10 SKUs?

    If all you need is EU compliance labels, VineQR is cheaper on price alone: its Mini (€30/yr, up to 5 labels) and Medium (€50/yr, up to 10 labels) plans undercut Winetraqr's €300/yr annual plan. Winetraqr's monthly plan is €30/mo (€360/yr if billed all year), so it costs more over twelve months but lets you avoid an annual upfront commitment. Winetraqr's free tier is €0 and adds analytics, teams, custom QR colors and a marketing page on the paid plans.

  • Are scan analytics and the marketing page EU compliant?

    On Winetraqr, scan analytics and the branded marketing page are optional and opt-in. The mandatory EU 2021/2117 e-label (ingredients, nutrition, allergens) does not require either, and you can run Winetraqr without them. If you do enable analytics or a marketing page, you control what's shown and can turn them off at any time.

  • Do both products meet EU wine label rules?

    Both products target the EU e-label requirement. VineQR cites Article 12 of the EU Food Information Regulation and provides nutrition, ingredients and recycling information; Winetraqr targets the same regime (EU Regulation 2021/2117) with the same information categories.

  • How many languages does each product support?

    Winetraqr supports all 24 official EU languages plus additional languages for visitors outside the EU. VineQR advertises automatic translations into all 24 EU languages.

If you have a small SKU count and only need a compliance label, VineQR's €30–€150/yr ladder is a clean, low-cost choice. If you want a permanent free starting point, customizable QR colors, optional scan analytics, multiple users or an optional branded page behind your QR, Winetraqr will cost you nothing to try and grow with you when you're ready.
