SmartPacks is a budget QR-label option, and on the surface the pricing looks fine. The catch is the gap between the free basic app and SmartPacks Pro at $9.99/month, and the fact that, like most Amazon label brands, you have to install the app to scan. If you want the simple version without the upsell, here's the alternative.
| SmartPacks | 2Pack Storage | |
|---|---|---|
| Labels | $9.99 / 48 | From $5.95 per 24-label pack in the app |
| App to scan | Required | Not required |
| Premium tier | Pro at $9.99/month | None, all free |
| Sequential numbering | No | Yes |
| Print-your-own | No | Yes (~$0.10/label) |
2Pack Storage is the no-asterisks version: the app is free forever with no Pro tier, labels start at $5.95 per 24-label pack in the app, and a label opens in any phone's browser, nothing to install to scan. You also get UPC/EAN barcode scanning, unlimited items and photos, tags, locations, bulk operations, dark mode, sequential or random numbering, and print-your-own labels from about $0.10 each. See the side-by-side on the 2Pack Storage vs SmartPacks page.
If you already own SmartPacks labels and only use the free basic app, there's no urgent reason to switch mid-project. But if you're choosing fresh, or you've been nudged toward SmartPacks Pro, 2Pack Storage gives you more for less with no recurring cost.
2Pack Storage is the SmartPacks alternative without the Pro-tier upsell or the app-install requirement: cheaper labels, every feature free forever, sequential numbering, and print-your-own. See the full comparison or try 2Pack Storage free.
