oqrely

A Hovercode alternative for campaigns with an end date

Pay once for a campaign, keep printed codes running for little, and take your own domain with you.

Hovercode is a clear, well-made tool, and its first 3 dynamic codes never expire. oqrely fits when codes follow campaigns, events or seasons: one-time passes from $12 run 1 to 5 editable codes for 3, 6 or 12 months and never renew, Starter is $9 a month, and fixed codes are free without an account.

What each one does well

Hovercode states its cancellation rule plainly in its pricing FAQ and keeps your codes on file. oqrely adds what campaign work often asks for: a one-time price for a fixed period, a low monthly fee to keep printed codes running, and an export with redirect rules for your own domain.

Who this page is for

How to move from Hovercode

Hovercode codes on its own short domains resolve through Hovercode, and your first 3 stay active even on the free plan, so you can keep those and move the rest.

  1. Export what you can

    Hovercode lists CSV exports on Business and Business Plus. On other plans, copy each code's destination from the dashboard.

  2. Decide which codes stay

    Your first 3 dynamic codes keep working on Hovercode's free plan. Codes beyond them become inactive when you cancel, so recreate those in oqrely first.

  3. Create them in oqrely

    Make each one an editable code, or upload the CSV in Bulk create and map the destination column.

  4. Move custom-domain codes

    Hovercode's FAQ says codes on your custom domain stop working when you cancel. Connect the same domain in oqrely, point its record to oqrely and recreate each link ending once it shows Connected, so printed codes keep resolving.

  5. Cancel from settings

    Once the new codes are live, cancel from Hovercode's settings screen.
