The Flowcode alternative that builds the page too
Generating the square is the cheap half. The expensive half is what somebody sees after they scan it.
A real Clay site, built from a Google listing
Flowcode makes QR codes, tracks the scans and lets you point them at a small page. That is genuinely useful and it is one half of the job. The other half is the menu, the hours, the booking button and the shop the code opens onto, and that is what a customer standing at your table actually wanted. Clay builds the page from your Google listing and gives you the code for it, and the code never expires or moves behind a plan.
Clay vs Flowcode
Your photographs, already sorted
Clay reads the pictures on your Google listing, grades them, crops them for the shape each band needs and puts the best one at the top. Nothing to upload, nothing to resize.
What it looks like when it is live
Drawn rather than described, the page, the address, and what it can switch on.
How it works
Search your business
Type your name, Clay pulls your photos, hours, reviews and contact details straight from your Google listing.
Pick a style
Choose a look and Clay builds a full site around your content. Change anything with a tap, no code, no templates to wrestle.
You're online
Publish to your own name.clay.site in minutes. Add a custom domain and connect your own tools whenever you're ready.
Real sites, made with Clay
Open one. It is the live site in a frame, not a screenshot, so what you see is what it looks like right now.
Questions
How long does it really take?
Most people are live in two to three minutes, search your business, pick a style, publish. There is nothing to install and no signup needed to see your site first, because it is built from your Google listing rather than from a blank page.
Is it free?
Yes. You get a live site on your own name.clay.site address with a small badge in the footer, and nothing expires. The paid plan is your own domain, the badge removed and the pro features.
Do I need any tech skills?
None. If you can type your business name, you can build a Clay site: the live page is the editor, so you tap the thing you want to change. There is no code anywhere, and nothing to install or keep updated, see the WordPress comparison for what that saves.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, buy it wherever you like and point it at Clay on a paid plan; the certificate is issued for you. Until then the free name.clay.site address is a real one you can print, and it keeps working afterwards.
Is the QR code free?
Yes, and it stays free. A code printed on a table card that stops working because a plan lapsed is the single worst thing that can happen to a QR code.
Do I get scan numbers?
You get visits to the page, which is the same journey. Flowcode's tracking is more detailed, and if that is the point of the exercise, it wins.
What does the code open?
Whatever you point it at: a menu page made for a phone is the usual answer.
