A TLinky QR code or a GigTag on your mic stand
A code on your mic stand is only worth printing if it leads somewhere useful to the people scanning it: a way to request a song, see your next gig or book you. GigTag gives you the code and that page together. TLinky, which you may have found while searching for a QR generator, makes codes and short links for marketing campaigns.
- No app for your audience
- Free to start
- One code that never changes
Why GigTag
The case for GigTag over a TLinky code at gigs
TLinky will make a code for any link and tell you where the scans came from. What the code opens is yours to supply. GigTag supplies it: a page with requests, your next gig, residencies, links and a booking form, on a tag designed for the stand.
- 1
A gig page comes with the code
With GigTag the destination is part of the product. The code on your tag opens a page already set up for a live act, with your next gig, residencies, links and a booking enquiry form. TLinky's generator is built to point a code at whatever link a marketer supplies.
- 2
The audience can join in
On Pro, people who scan can request a song from your list, and you see it in a live queue on your phone while you play. That makes the code part of the performance. TLinky's strength is on the other side of the scan, in measuring clicks and where they came from.
- 3
One permanent code for the act
A GigTag code never changes. It belongs to your act, sits on a tag you design, and keeps working if you rename the act. You print once. TLinky offers many kinds of code for many campaigns, which suits a marketer running several at a time.
- 4
Bookings and invoices behind the scan
The same page takes booking enquiries on the free plan, with no commission on bookings, and on Pro you can invoice clients in your own design and be paid online. A scan at a gig can end in paid work, handled in one account on the website or in the GigTag app.
- 5
Free to print and start
The tag design and print file are on the free plan, along with your page, your links, every gig and residency and the booking form. Print the tag yourself at no cost, or order it printed. You can have a working code on your stand before deciding about Pro.
In short
TLinky and GigTag, in four lines
- TLinky is a link management platform: short links, QR codes and bio pages with campaign tracking.
- GigTag's code comes with a finished gig page: requests, next gig, residencies, links and a booking form.
- The code is permanent, lives on a tag for your mic stand, and the print file is on the free plan.
- For a code your audience scans at gigs, choose GigTag, and use TLinky for campaign links.
Side by side
GigTag vs TLinky, topic by topic
The code itself
One permanent code that belongs to your act
There is one code per act, it is permanent, and it lives on a tag you design. Renaming the act leaves it working.
TLinkyIts generator offers several code types, custom colours, a logo and frame, and dynamic codes whose content can be edited after printing.
Where a scan leads
A finished page for the gig, every time
A scan always opens your act's page: next gig, residencies, links and a booking enquiry form, plus song requests on Pro.
TLinkyA code can hold a link, text, a contact card, WiFi details, an event and other types, chosen when you create it.
What you can measure
Requests and enquiries, seen as they arrive
You see the requests that come in during the set and the booking enquiries that follow. Those are the results a gig produces.
TLinkyIts site describes click and scan tracking by country, city, device, browser, language and referrer, with a visitor map and page view counts.
A page of links
Your links and gig features on one page
Your page carries your socials, website and music links alongside the gig features, so one scan covers both for the audience.
TLinkyThe bio builder uses content widgets, social icons and custom backgrounds, and its site aims it at TikTok, Instagram and YouTube profiles.
Printing the code
Tag design and print file on the free plan
The tag design and print file are on the free plan, so you can print the tag yourself, or you can order it ready printed.
TLinkyCodes download as PNG, JPG or SVG files, and its site talks about using them on flyers, posters and other marketing materials.

TLinky or GigTag
Where GigTag is different from TLinky
The page comes with the code
TLinky gives you a code and asks where it should go. With GigTag the answer is built in. The code on your tag opens your act's page: your next gig, your weekly residencies, your socials and music links, and a booking enquiry form. On Pro it also takes song requests. You do not have to design a destination before your first gig.
Made to hang on a mic stand
A marketing QR code usually goes on a flyer, a poster or packaging. GigTag's code goes on a small tag you design for your mic stand, where the audience is looking all night. You can download the print file and print it yourself for free, or order the tag printed. The code is permanent, so the same tag works at every gig you play.
What you learn from a scan
TLinky is built to tell a marketer which campaign, city and device produced a click. At a gig, the signal you want is simpler and closer to hand: which songs people asked for, and who wants to book you. GigTag shows you those as requests in a live queue during the set and as booking enquiries in your account.
A night with GigTag
A covers trio in a summer beer garden
You are a trio playing a Sunday afternoon in a pub garden. People drift in and out, and half of them are too far away to shout a request. Your tag is on the mic stand, and you mention it once after the opening song. Phones come out at the picnic benches. The page opens in each browser with no app, and the people at the back can now see who you are and where you play next.
Requests are open, so on Pro the benches start choosing from your song list. The queue fills on your phone, propped on the amp, and you work through it between your own picks. Someone celebrating a birthday adds your next gig to their calendar. The landlord asks if you can do a monthly slot, and you add it to your gigs that evening. The code on the tag is the same one you will use there, and everywhere else.
About TLinky
What is TLinky?
TLinky is a link management platform: a URL shortener, a QR code generator and a link-in-bio builder under one login. Its site speaks to marketers, entrepreneurs, influencers and businesses who want to track, analyse and improve their campaigns. The emphasis is on measurement: clicks, countries and cities, devices and referrers, with tools such as A/B testing and retargeting to act on what the numbers show.
A typical use is a campaign. You shorten a link under your own branding, make a dynamic QR code for a flyer or poster, and watch the scans come in. Its site says the content behind a dynamic code can be edited without changing the printed code. The link-in-bio builder adds a page of links and content widgets for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube profiles.

How TLinky works
- 1
Shorten a link. You paste a long address and get a short one, which its site says can carry your own branding. Each short link is tracked from the moment it is shared.
- 2
Generate a QR code. You pick a type, such as a link, a contact card, WiFi details or an event, set the colours, and download the code as an image file.
- 3
Build a bio page. The link-in-bio builder lets you arrange links, social icons and content widgets on a page in your own colours and backgrounds, edited live without reloading the page.
- 4
Read the statistics. For each link, code or page you see clicks, top countries and cities, devices, browsers, languages and referrers, and you can use that to adjust the campaign.
Who TLinky is for
Marketers running campaigns. Its home page is addressed to people who run marketing. Short links, targeting by country and device, A/B testing and retargeting are tools for someone comparing one advert or channel with another and wanting the numbers to decide.
Influencers with a bio link. The link-in-bio builder is described for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube profiles. It is aimed at people with followers who want one page for their content, products and social accounts, and want to see what gets clicked.
Businesses using printed codes. Its QR pages talk about business growth and codes on marketing materials. That covers shops and companies putting a scannable code on flyers, posters or packaging, with every scan tracked and the destination still editable afterwards.
The verdict
GigTag or TLinky: which should you choose?
The bottom line
For the code on your mic stand, choose GigTag. The decisive point is that the code arrives with a page made for a gig, so a scan leads straight to requests, dates and a booking form without you building anything. TLinky is still the better tool for a marketer who needs short links, many codes and detailed campaign statistics, and a band promoting a show can use it for posters alongside the tag.
They suit different parts of the job. If you run adverts or print flyers for a show, a TLinky short link or code lets you see which one worked. For the stand itself, use the GigTag tag. You could also shorten your GigTag page address with TLinky for a poster, since a GigTag link keeps working even if you rename the act.
- Step 1
Use the tag at gigs
Put the GigTag tag on your mic stand. It is the code your audience scans, and it already leads to your requests, dates and booking form.
- Step 2
Use TLinky for promotion
For posters, flyers and adverts, make a TLinky short link or code that points to your GigTag page, so you can see which piece of promotion brought people in.
- Step 3
Compare and repeat
After a run of gigs, look at TLinky's statistics for the promotion and at your GigTag enquiries for the result. Keep the promotion that worked and drop the rest.

Which QR code should a band use at gigs, GigTag or TLinky?
GigTag. It is built for that single purpose: a permanent code on a tag for the mic stand, opening a page with your next gig, residencies, links, a booking enquiry form and, on Pro, song requests. TLinky is a general link and QR platform for marketing, so its codes go wherever you point them and report the scans.
Why not just make a QR code and link it to my website?
You can, and a generator such as TLinky will do it. The question is what the audience finds. A GigTag page is designed for the few moments someone gives you at a gig: request a song on Pro, save the next date, follow, enquire. It opens in the browser with no app, and the code never needs reprinting.
Can I use a TLinky QR code at my gigs?
Yes. A TLinky code can point at a link of your choice, so you could send the audience to your website or a link page. GigTag differs in that the page comes with the code: your next gig, residencies, links, a booking form and, on Pro, song requests, on a tag made for the mic stand.
How is a TLinky dynamic QR code different from a GigTag code?
TLinky's site says a dynamic code lets you change the content it points to without changing the printed code. A GigTag code always points to your act's page, and you change what is on the page. The code itself never changes, and if you rename the act, old links still work.
Is GigTag a URL shortener like TLinky?
No. GigTag does one job: it gives a live act one QR code on a tag and one page for the gig, with requests on Pro, your gigs and residencies, your links and a booking enquiry form. For shortening and tracking marketing links, TLinky is the kind of tool to look at.
Does TLinky's link in bio do the same as a GigTag page?
Both are pages of links, made for different places. TLinky's is built for TikTok, Instagram and YouTube profiles, with content widgets and analytics. GigTag's is built for a gig: fans scan a tag, see your next date and residencies, send a booking enquiry and, on Pro, request songs. No app or account is needed.
What should a QR code at a gig link to?
Something the audience can use while you are still playing. A GigTag code opens a page with your next gig, your residencies, your links and a booking enquiry form, and on Pro a song list to request from. That gives a person at a table a reason to scan now, not later.
Does a GigTag QR code change when I update my page?
No. The code printed on your tag is permanent. It stays the same when you edit your page, add gigs or update your song list, and if you rename the act the old links still work. That is why you can print the tag once and keep using it.
Can I track my GigTag page with TLinky?
You can track a TLinky link that leads to it. Make a TLinky short link or QR code that points to your GigTag page and use that on posters or adverts. TLinky's site says it reports clicks and scans by place and device. The tag on your stand carries GigTag's own permanent code.
How do I get a GigTag tag printed?
You design the tag on GigTag and download the print file, both on the free plan, then print it wherever you like. Or you can order it printed: AED 100 in the UAE, £24.99 in the UK, with free delivery in Dubai and in the UK. Elsewhere we don't ship yet, so print your own for free or ask us first.
