Why people switch
"I was a QR Tiger customer for years. When I thought about leaving, I realized I couldn't — every QR I'd ever printed would die the day I cancelled. So I built the exit. SquidBlink codes are printed in Permanent Ink: they keep working forever, even if you leave us. That's not a feature. It's a promise."— Randy, founder

Fair questions
No — it's powerful, and enterprises use it well. SquidBlink is for small businesses that want the core job done simply, with codes they own forever and a human to call.
Printed QR codes point at QR Tiger's domain, so they can't be transferred — that's exactly the lock-in Permanent Ink exists to prevent. We make switching painless going forward, not backward.
