djrequests for mobile DJs, GigTag for live acts
When you sing or play, the audience is already looking at you, so the code should be where they look. GigTag puts it on a small tag on your mic stand, and one scan gives them your song list, your next gig and a booking form. If you came here from djrequests and its table cards for DJs, this is why GigTag suits a live act.
- No app for your audience
- Free to start
- One code that never changes
Why GigTag
djrequests is for DJs: here is GigTag's case
djrequests puts cards on tables for a DJ working a function. GigTag puts one tag on the stage for an act the room is already watching, and behind it a page that handles requests, dates, links, enquiries and invoices.
- 1
One tag, already in your bag
A live act needs one code in one place: the mic stand. Your GigTag is a single small tag in your own design that goes to every gig, and the code on it never changes. djrequests spreads cards across the tables because a DJ's guests are spread across the room.
- 2
Requests from your own repertoire
Fans choose from the song list you have entered, so a request is always something you can perform, and it arrives in a live queue. You can open requests to anything when you want to. djrequests pairs a request with a dedication, in the way of a wedding DJ.
- 3
Your next gig on show
A GigTag page lists every gig and weekly residency on the free plan. Someone who enjoyed tonight can add your next date to their calendar before they leave. For acts that play public gigs as well as functions, that is how one night's audience can find the next.
- 4
A booking form with no commission
The guest who wants you for their own event sends an enquiry from your page. The form is free and GigTag takes no commission on bookings. On Pro you send an invoice in your own design, paid online. djrequests gathers event dates and reviews, the mobile DJ's route to work.
- 5
No app and no account
The audience scans with the phone camera and your page opens in the browser. Nothing to download, nothing to sign up for. At a wedding or a birthday, that matters: guests of every age can take part in the time it takes to take a photo.
In short
djrequests and GigTag, in four lines
- djrequests gives mobile DJs QR table cards for requests with dedications, reviews and event dates.
- GigTag puts one custom tag on the mic stand, where a live audience is already looking.
- One scan gives fans your song list, your next gig and a commission free booking form.
- Choose GigTag for live sets, while djrequests remains the tool for a mobile DJ's table cards.
Side by side
GigTag vs djrequests, topic by topic
Where the code sits
One tag where the audience already looks
The code is on one small custom tag on your mic stand, where the audience is already looking while you play.
djrequestsThe code is printed on table cards that the DJ places around the room, so each table of guests has one in front of them.
The request
Requests from songs you can play
A fan requests from your own song list, or any song if you open requests, and it joins the live queue during your set.
djrequestsA guest scans a card and requests a song, and can attach a dedication to it for the person or the moment it is meant for.
Being tipped
0% taken from tips
Tips are by card or Apple Pay into your own Ziina account in the UAE, or your own Stripe account everywhere else, with 0% taken by GigTag.
djrequestsGuests can leave a tip for the DJ from the same scan they use to make a request. See its site for the payment methods it supports.
Reviews and follows
Links to your socials, site and music
The page points fans to your socials, website and music links, so they can follow you and see more of what you do.
djrequestsGuests can write a review of the DJ from the card, so feedback is gathered during the event while people are still there.
The next booking
Enquiry form, then an invoice paid online
A booking enquiry form is on your page on the free plan. On Pro you can then send an invoice the client pays online.
djrequestsA guest who is planning an event can share its date through the card, which gives the DJ a lead from someone in the room.

A djrequests alternative
Where GigTag is different from djrequests
One tag on the stand, not many cards
djrequests spreads its code around the room on table cards, because a DJ is often tucked in a corner behind a booth. A live act is the thing everyone is watching, so GigTag puts one small custom tag on the mic stand. You design it, and GigTag prints and delivers it, or you print the file yourself for free. One tag then travels with you from gig to gig, the same in every room.
Requests from the songs you play
A DJ can usually find any track a guest names. A band can only play what it has rehearsed. GigTag lets fans request from your own song list, or from anything if you choose to open requests, and each one arrives in a live queue you can see during the set. djrequests adds a dedication to the request, which suits the first dance and the birthday shout at a function.
Your dates and a booking form
djrequests collects reviews and the dates of guests' own events, which is how a mobile DJ fills a diary. GigTag comes at the same goal from the page: it shows your next gig and weekly residencies, links to your socials and music, and carries a booking enquiry form on the free plan. On Pro, you can then send the client an invoice in your own design to pay online.
A night with GigTag
A solo singer at a birthday party
You are booked for two sets in a marquee in someone's garden. There is one of you, one guitar and one mic stand, and the tag is on it. Guests wander over between courses, scan it and go back to their seats. Your page opens in their browser and they choose from your song list. The requests line up in the live queue on your phone, clipped to the stand. You see the host's favourite come in and save it for the cake.
Private parties are full of people with parties of their own to plan. One guest scans the tag again later and sends a booking enquiry through your page. Another adds your next public gig to their calendar so they can bring friends. The next morning you answer the enquiry on the website. With Pro you send an invoice in your own design and the client pays it online. The tag goes back in the guitar case, ready for the next booking, with the same code as before.
About djrequests
What is djrequests?
djrequests is a QR code service for DJs. It gives the DJ table cards with a code on them. A guest who scans one can request a song and add a dedication, leave a tip, write a review of the DJ, or share the date of their own upcoming event, which hands the DJ a lead. It is made with the mobile DJ in mind: someone who plays weddings and parties and wins the next job from the last one.
Cards go out on the tables before guests sit down. Through the evening, requests and dedications reach the DJ, who decides what fits the floor. The same card does some selling too: a guest who is enjoying the night can leave a review there and then, and someone planning a party can pass on their date. See its site for the full list of what the cards can do.

How djrequests works
- 1
Put cards on the tables. The DJ sets out table cards, each carrying a QR code. Every guest has the code within reach, wherever they are sitting in the room.
- 2
Guests scan and request. A guest scans a card and requests a song, adding a dedication if they want one. They can leave a tip from the same scan.
- 3
Collect reviews and dates. Guests can also write a review of the DJ or share the date of their own event, which gives the DJ a lead to follow up.
Who djrequests is for
Mobile DJs at weddings. The table card suits a wedding, where guests are seated for much of the evening and the DJ may be across the room. A request with a dedication lets someone send a song to the couple or to a relative.
DJs who rely on reviews. A DJ's next client often reads reviews first. Because guests can leave one from the same card, the DJ gathers them while people are still at the event and enjoying it, instead of asking by email days later.
DJs looking for the next job. Guests planning their own event can share its date through the card. For a mobile DJ, that turns a room of party guests into possible bookings, picked up on the night from the people who have just heard them play.
The verdict
GigTag or djrequests: which should you choose?
The bottom line
If you perform live, pick GigTag. The strongest reason is that it was made for an act on a stage: one tag where the audience is looking, requests limited to songs you play, and a page that carries your next gig and a booking form. djrequests is still the right tool for mobile DJs who want cards on every table, dedications and reviews gathered on the night, and someone who does both can use each for its own set.
Pick by the kind of work. For DJ sets at weddings and parties, djrequests and its table cards are made for the job. For live sets, a GigTag on the mic stand fits better. If you do both in one evening, a DJ set and a live set, use each for its own part of the night and keep the codes apart so guests know which is which.
- Step 1
Cards for the DJ set
If part of your night is a DJ set, use djrequests' table cards for it. Guests at the tables send requests and dedications while you mix.
- Step 2
The tag for the live set
When you sing or play, the GigTag on your mic stand takes over. Fans request from the songs you perform and can see your next dates.
- Step 3
Tell guests which is which
Say from the microphone which code is for which part of the night, so a request for the band does not end up with the DJ.

Questions
djrequests and GigTag: what people ask
Something else? Ask us. A person reads every message.
Is GigTag better than djrequests for a wedding singer?
For a singer or band, GigTag is the closer match. Guests scan the tag on your mic stand, choose from your song list, and their requests reach a live queue. The same page lets an engaged couple in the room send you a booking enquiry, with no commission, and on Pro you can invoice them online. djrequests is designed around DJs.
What does GigTag do that djrequests does not focus on?
GigTag is about the act across many gigs. One permanent code shows every gig and weekly residency, links to your socials, website and music, and takes booking enquiries that you can follow with an invoice. It also lets one account hold more than one act on Pro. djrequests focuses on a DJ's single event and the cards on its tables.
What is djrequests?
djrequests is a QR code service for DJs. It provides table cards with a code on them. Guests scan a card to request a song with a dedication, leave a tip, write a review, or share the date of their own event. It is aimed at mobile DJs who work weddings, parties and similar functions.
Can a live band use GigTag the way a DJ uses djrequests?
Yes, for the request side. Fans scan the QR code on your tag and request a song from your list, or any song if you open requests. The requests appear in a live queue during the set. Song requests are part of GigTag Pro. The free plan covers the tag design, your page, links, gigs, residencies and the enquiry form.
How do booking enquiries reach me with GigTag?
Your GigTag page has a booking enquiry form. Someone watching you scans the tag, fills in the form, and you pick the enquiry up on the website or in the GigTag app. That is on the free plan. With Pro you can then send an invoice in your own design, which the client pays online.
What happens to a GigTag code after the gig?
It keeps working. Each act has one permanent QR code, and the printed code never changes. If you rename the act later, the old links still open your page. So a tag you had printed for this season is still good next year, and a guest who took a photo of it can find your next gig months afterwards.
Is djrequests made for wedding DJs?
It is aimed at mobile DJs, which includes those who work weddings, parties and similar functions. Its table cards put a QR code on every table, and guests use it to request songs with dedications, leave reviews or share their own event date. A live wedding band would look at GigTag, which is built for acts that perform the songs.
Can guests leave a review through djrequests?
Yes. One of the things a guest can do after scanning a djrequests table card is write a review of the DJ, alongside requesting a song or sharing an event date. GigTag takes a different route to the same end: its page links to your socials and website and carries a booking enquiry form.
Where should I put a QR code at a live gig?
Where people are already looking. For a live act that is the stage, which is why GigTag makes a small custom tag for the mic stand. The audience sees it while they watch you, scans it from their seat, and your page opens in the browser. One tag is enough, and it comes with you to every venue.
What does GigTag cost for a solo act?
There is a free plan: the custom tag design and print file, your page, links, every gig and residency, the booking enquiry form and one act. Pro adds song requests, tips, invoices and more than one act, at AED 30 a month in the UAE, £11.99 in the UK and $15.99 elsewhere. Tips work in every country, with 0% taken.
