Questions
Is it safe to scan a QR code on a parking meter or poster?
Scammers do stick fake QR codes on meters and posters. Qanary checks every scanned link for common scam and phishing patterns before you open it.
How does Qanary know a link is unsafe?
It checks the link on your device against offline security rules and flags common scam patterns, such as look-alike domains and fake brand-login pages.
Does it say a code is verified?
Never. Qanary gives an honest Safe, Caution or Danger assessment, not a guarantee.
Is Pro a subscription?
No. Qanary Pro is a one-time $4.99 purchase.
