Do you make the sign riders?

No. TangoQR makes the code. Download the SVG and take it to a sign shop or an online sign printer, and they put it on the rider.

Is $100 a year unlimited codes?

Yes. Pro is $10 a month or $100 a year, and there is no limit on the number of codes. The free plan has no limit on codes either.

Can I move a rider to my next listing?

Yes. Change the code's link to the new listing and hang the rider on the next sign. On the free plan this works for a code's first 50 scans. After that, a change to the link needs Pro.

How many scans before I need Pro?

50 per code. Each code counts its own scans. Below 50, you change the link for free. Past 50, the code keeps working and a change to its link needs Pro.

Do my codes stop working if I cancel?

No. Each code keeps sending people to the last link you set. What you lose is the ability to change the link on a code that has passed 50 scans, and the full scan detail on that code. Signs that are already printed do not change.

Can I number my signs?

Yes. Give each code a label, such as "Sign 7", and put the same number on the rider. Keep the set in one folder.

What size should the code be on a rider?

About 5 inches wide on a 6-inch rider, which reads from about 4 feet. For a read from the curb, put a larger code on the main sign panel. The size calculator gives the number for your distance.

Can my whole team use it?

Not with separate sign-ins. TangoQR has no team or brokerage seats today. An account belongs to one person.

QR codes for real estate

Put one QR code on each sign rider. When the listing sells, change the code's link and move the rider to the next sign. No reprint.

Make a QR code for your sign rider.

Turn on JavaScript to use the builder, or create an account.

A yard sign lives outside for weeks, and the listing behind it changes constantly: price drops, new photos, a different listing URL, eventually "sold." A static QR printed on the sign can't keep up, and reprinting riders every time the listing moves isn't realistic.

With TangoQR, the code on the sign points at a redirect you control. Repoint it to the updated listing, a price-drop page, a "book a showing" form, or a new agent profile. The sign stays exactly as printed. One code on the rider can carry a property from "just listed" through "under contract" without a trip to the print shop.

An individual agent can run sign codes without buying a platform. On the free plan you can change a code's link for its first 50 scans. After that, changing it needs Pro ($10 a month or $100 a year, unlimited codes). Codes keep redirecting either way. Each code shows total scans on every plan, with detailed scan analytics for its first 50 scans, enough to see whether a particular sign is pulling interest. Brand it with your colors and logo on any plan.

When the property sells, repoint the code to your other listings or your profile instead of letting it die. The redirect keeps working forever, even if you pause your subscription between listings.

A worked example. A sign rider carries a TangoQR code pointing at the listing page. The price drops; you repoint the code to a "new price" page in seconds. The home goes under contract; you repoint it again to your other listings. Same printed rider, three different destinations, zero reprints.

Reuse one sign rider across listings

A rider that says "Scan for details" names no property, so it can go on any sign. The code is the only part tied to a listing, and the code's link is a setting you change.

Print the rider once, with one TangoQR code on it.
Point the code at the listing and hang the rider.
When the listing sells, take the rider down, open the code in your dashboard, and paste in the next listing's link.
Hang the same rider on the next sign.

The next scan goes to the new listing. Nothing on the rider changes, because the printed pattern holds a short TangoQR link, not the listing address. More detail: Can I reuse a sign rider QR code for my next listing?

One code per sign, numbered to match

If you own twelve riders, make twelve codes, one per rider. One shared code would send every sign to the same listing.

Number the riders. Print or write a small number on each one, 1 to 12.
Label the codes to match. Each code has a label. Call them "Sign 1" to "Sign 12", so the code for the rider in your hand is easy to find.
Keep them in one folder, for example "Sign riders". The folder shows the scans for the whole set.
Change any of them from one list. Open the folder, pick a code, change its link. To change several at once, select them, or upload a spreadsheet with a code and a new link on each row.

Labels, folders and bulk changes are on every plan. To make the twelve in one step, paste twelve links or upload a spreadsheet: see how to make many codes at once. The full walk-through is in How do I manage QR codes for several listing signs?

How big to print the code

The rule is 10 to 1: a code reads from about ten times its own width. So the size comes from where the person stands.

On a rider. A common rider is 6 inches tall. With a margin, the code can be about 5 inches wide, which reads from about 4 feet. That is a person standing at the sign, not a person in a car.
On the main sign panel. For a read from the curb at 10 feet, the code needs to be about 12 inches wide. That size fits the main panel, not the rider.

Get the number for your own distance from the QR code size calculator. Give the sign shop the SVG, which stays sharp at any size. Keep the white margin around the code, and print dark on light. More: What size should a QR code be on a real estate sign rider?

Open houses and flyers

An open house needs a different link from the yard sign. Make a separate code for it, so the sign keeps pointing at the listing.

At the door: point the code at your sign-in form. After the open house, change the link to the listing page, so a flyer someone took home still goes somewhere useful.
On flyers and listing sheets: a code read in the hand can be about 1.2 inches (3 cm) wide.
Each code counts its own scans, so you see what the open house brought and what the yard sign brought.

Which link to use

The code can point at any web address: your own listing page, the MLS page, Zillow, a 3D tour, or a contact form.

A page you control is the safest target. A page on a portal or the MLS belongs to them: it can change or come down when the listing sells or expires, and you do not decide when. Your own page stays up for as long as you keep it up. The choice is not permanent, though. If the link you chose stops working, change the code's link.

What it costs

Free, $0. Unlimited codes. You can change each code's link for its first 50 scans. After that the code keeps working, and a change to its link needs Pro. The image has a small "tangoqr" mark in the corner.
Pro, $10 a month or $100 a year. Unlimited codes. Change any code's link at any time. Full scan detail on every code, and no mark on the image.

A rider that moves from listing to listing passes 50 scans quickly, so plan on Pro for a set you reuse. If you cancel, your codes keep sending people to the last link you set. They do not go dark: see What happens to my printed QR codes if I stop paying? The plans are on the pricing page.

Getting started

Four steps:

Paste the listing link into the builder at the top of this page.
Brand it, download the SVG (it scales crisp to sign size), and send it to your sign shop.
Label the code to match the sign, for example "Sign 1".
Repoint the code as the listing changes: price, status, or your profile when it sells.
