All types of QR codes can help you share content, but the difference between static and dynamic QRs lies in how flexible you want the link to be.

A static QR code holds fixed information. Once it's generated, you can’t change it, making it good for permanent use.

A dynamic QR code lets you update the linked content without changing the code. It’s useful for updating links, campaign pages, or whatever new content you want to share.

Dynamic QR codes also provide tracking data, including how many times the code was scanned, and when and where it happened. This can help inform your marketing strategies and give you more information about client interest.
