Musician pages and link-in-bio
What UniLink gives musicians, and where GigTag fits
On a gig you need three things from the audience: to know what they want to hear, to see them again, and to hear from the ones who might book you. GigTag gives you all three from one printed code on your mic stand. UniLink, if that is what you were weighing up, is a bio page built for sharing and selling online.
- No app for your audience
- Free to start
- One code that never changes
Why GigTag
Why gigging acts put GigTag before UniLink on stage
UniLink's musician page is about your recordings, merch and mailing list. A covers act or working band lives on something else: the room in front of it. GigTag is built for that room, with a request queue, weekly residencies, a booking form and invoices behind one code that never changes.
- 1
Your set list becomes a request list
Load the songs you play and, on Pro, the audience requests them from their seats. Each request joins a live queue on your phone. UniLink embeds your released tracks for listening later, which suits an artist with recordings. GigTag gives a live act a way to shape the set that is happening now.
- 2
Residencies your regulars can save
GigTag lists weekly residencies as well as one-off gigs, and a fan can add either to their calendar. For an act with a regular Thursday, that gives a first-time listener an easy way back. UniLink's events block lists your shows in date order with venues and ticket links.
- 3
A code made for the mic stand
You design a small tag, print it or order it, and hang it where everyone is looking. The code on it is permanent and survives a change of name. UniLink offers a QR generator among its tools for sharing a bio page. GigTag makes the printed code the centre of the whole product.
- 4
Enquiries with no commission
The booking enquiry form is on your page from the free plan, and GigTag takes no commission on bookings. A guest who likes the band can ask about a date while you are still playing. On Pro you follow up with an invoice in your own design that the client pays online.
- 5
One account for every line-up
Band members can join the band on GigTag, and Pro lets you keep more than one act on one account. A singer who works solo midweek and fronts a function band at weekends can run both from the same account, on the website or in the GigTag app.
In short
UniLink and GigTag, in four lines
- UniLink is a link-in-bio website builder whose musician page covers embeds, merch, shows, a tip jar and a mailing list.
- GigTag turns your song list into live requests, shown in a queue on your phone during the set.
- Weekly residencies, a booking form and a permanent printed code come with GigTag's free plan.
- Pick GigTag for the stage, and keep UniLink if you sell merch and music online.
Side by side
GigTag vs UniLink, topic by topic
Your music
A song list the audience requests from
Music links on your page lead to your recordings. The live part is the song list, which fans request from on Pro during the set.
UniLinkIts musician page describes embedding tracks from Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud or YouTube Music, so fans preview your sound and tap through to their platform.
Shows and dates
Residencies and gigs saved to a fan's calendar
One-off gigs and weekly residencies both appear on your page, and a fan can add them to their own calendar from there.
UniLinkAn events block lists gigs, festivals and live streams in date order, with venue names, cities and ticket links, and new dates appear at once.
Selling merch
Keep UniLink for this, and link to it
There is no shop on a GigTag page. Use the links on your page to send the audience to wherever you sell, including a UniLink shop.
UniLinkIts site describes a built-in shop for shirts, vinyl and posters, with sizes and variants, and orders managed from your dashboard.
Support from fans
Tips in every country, with 0% taken
Tips by card or Apple Pay go into your own Stripe account, or your own Ziina account in the UAE. GigTag takes 0% of them.
UniLinkIts musician page mentions a virtual tip jar, pay-what-you-want downloads and monthly support as ways for fans to back you.
Keeping in touch
Booking enquiries straight from the room
The audience follows your socials from the page and saves your next gig to their calendar. Clients reach you through the booking enquiry form.
UniLinkAn email collection block gathers fan addresses for presale codes and release news, and its site says you can export the list.

UniLink or GigTag
Where GigTag is different from UniLink
A request queue, not a player
UniLink's musician page leads with your recordings: a fan hears a track and taps through to their streaming service. A GigTag page leads with the set you are playing now. The fan picks a song from your list, or types anything if you have opened requests, and it appears in a live queue on your phone. For a covers act, that queue is the part of the page that gets used on the night. It is included in Pro.
Residencies as well as one-off dates
UniLink lists shows with ticket links, which suits a ticketed tour. Much pub, hotel and restaurant work is not ticketed: it is the same room every Thursday. GigTag keeps weekly residencies alongside one-off gigs, shows what is next on your page, and lets a fan add either to their calendar. Every gig and residency is on the free plan, however many you play.
Tips at the gig
UniLink's site describes a virtual tip jar for fans who want to back you. See its site for how and where that works. GigTag tips are for the gig itself: paid by card or Apple Pay into your own Stripe account, or your own Ziina account in the UAE, and GigTag takes 0%. They work in every country, like everything else in GigTag.
A night with GigTag
An originals band with a merch table
You are a four-piece playing your own songs in a small venue, with a box of shirts at the back. Your tag hangs on the mic stand under the lights. During the changeover, people near the stage scan it and your page opens in the browser. They find your music links, so the song they liked can be found again tomorrow, and they add your next gig to their calendars. Your whole band is on the account, because band members can join a band on GigTag.
Mid set you invite requests from your own catalogue. On Pro, the titles people pick line up in a queue on your phone, and you choose one for the encore. After the last song, a promoter from the next town sends a booking enquiry through the page instead of shouting over the house music. You sell shirts at the table as you always do. GigTag does not sell them for you, so the website link on your page points to wherever you sell online.
About UniLink
What is UniLink?
UniLink is a link-in-bio website builder for social media. Its site describes one bio link from which you can sell products, services and content, grow an audience and run the business side of being a creator. It names musicians among the people it serves, next to artists, podcasters and small businesses, and has a page for them. Around the bio page sit other tools: a social post scheduler, email marketing, a link shortener and a QR code generator.
For a musician, its site describes a page with tracks embedded from Spotify, Apple Music, SoundCloud or YouTube Music, a merch shop where fans check out without leaving, upcoming shows with venues and ticket links, music videos, and an email sign-up for release news. There is also a virtual tip jar and other ways for fans to support you directly.

How UniLink works
- 1
Sign up and choose a template. You create an account and pick a template. Its site sorts templates by field, with music among them, and says no coding is needed to build the page.
- 2
Add your blocks. You build the page from blocks. For a musician, its site describes a music block for embeds, an events block for shows, a shop, a video block and an email collection block.
- 3
Share one link. You put the finished page in your social bios. Its musician page also suggests setlist cards and press kits as places where the same link can go.
- 4
Use the tools around it. From the same account you can schedule social posts, send emails to the people who signed up, shorten links and read analytics on visitors, clicks and revenue.
Who UniLink is for
Musicians, DJs and producers. Its musician page is written for people with releases to share. It also links to versions for DJs, music producers, bands and singers, each built around the same idea of one page for streaming, shopping, shows and fan contact.
Creators selling from a bio. The home page is aimed at creators and small businesses who sell from social media. It describes storefronts for digital and physical products, services, appointments, courses, events and paid subscriptions, all behind one bio link.
People managing social channels. A third audience is anyone running several social accounts. The social planner schedules and publishes posts to platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn and Pinterest, and email marketing follows up with the audience you collect.
The verdict
GigTag or UniLink: which should you choose?
The bottom line
For the gig itself, choose GigTag. Its strongest advantage over a bio page is the live request queue: it gives the audience a reason to scan while you are playing, and everything else on the page follows from that scan. UniLink remains the right tool if you sell merch and build a mailing list online, and GigTag does not replace it there. Acts who release and gig will want both.
If you release music and gig, the two sit side by side. Use UniLink as the home for your recordings, merch and mailing list, and put it in your bios. Use GigTag on the mic stand for requests, dates and bookings. Link your UniLink page from your GigTag page and the other way round, so a fan who finds one finds both.
- Step 1
Build the music page first
Set up UniLink with your tracks, merch and mailing list, and put it in your bios. That is your home for people who find you online.
- Step 2
Add GigTag for the stage
Create your act on GigTag, load your gigs, residencies and song list, and print the tag. Take it to every show you play from now on.
- Step 3
Join the two up
Add your UniLink page to the links on your GigTag page, and add your GigTag page as a link on UniLink. Fans can then move between the two.
Choose GigTag if
You want a printed code for the stand that takes requests during the set and turns the room into booking enquiries.

Is GigTag a better choice than UniLink for a covers band?
For a covers band, GigTag is the closer fit. Your audience is at the venue, and GigTag gives them song requests on Pro, your residencies and next gig, and a booking enquiry form from one scan. UniLink is built around streaming embeds, a merch shop and a mailing list, which serve an act with releases and an online following.
What would I gain at gigs by adding GigTag to my UniLink page?
A way for the room to respond. With a tag on the stand, people can request songs on Pro, save your next date, follow you and send a booking enquiry, all in the browser with no app. The free plan covers the tag design, the page, your gigs and the enquiry form, so you can try it at your next gig.
Does UniLink have a QR code I could use at gigs?
Its site lists a QR code generator among its tools, and its musician page suggests putting your link on setlist cards. A code like that opens your bio page. A GigTag code opens a page made for the room, with your next gig, residencies, a booking form and, on Pro, song requests, and it is printed on a tag for your mic stand.
Is GigTag a UniLink alternative?
For the live side of your work, yes. For selling online, no. GigTag is not a store or a website builder. It gives a live act one permanent QR code and a page for the gig: requests on Pro, your next dates, your links and a booking enquiry form. UniLink is built to sell and share from a bio link.
Can a duo or band use GigTag alongside UniLink?
Yes. GigTag is for a solo act, a duo or a band, and band members can join the band on GigTag. On Pro you can keep more than one act on one account, which helps if you play solo some nights and with a band on others. Your UniLink page can stay in your social bios throughout.
Does GigTag sell merch like UniLink?
No. GigTag is not a store. What a fan can do on a GigTag page is request a song, see your next gig and residencies, follow your links and send a booking enquiry. If you sell merch through UniLink, add that page to the links on your GigTag page so the audience can find it.
How do song requests work on GigTag?
You add the songs you can play to your song list. At the gig, fans scan your tag and choose one, or ask for anything if you have opened requests. Each request appears in a live queue, which you watch on the website or in the GigTag app while you play. Song requests are part of Pro.
Does GigTag show weekly residencies?
Yes. As well as one-off gigs, you can add residencies that repeat every week, such as a regular Thursday in a hotel bar. Your page shows what is coming up, and fans can add a date to their calendar. Gigs and residencies are on the free plan, and it includes every one you list.
Can I keep UniLink's tip jar and still use GigTag?
Yes. The two are separate. UniLink's site describes a virtual tip jar on your bio page, and you can link to that page from GigTag. GigTag's own tips go into your own Stripe or Ziina account, with 0% taken, so fans can tip either way.
Is UniLink or GigTag the right choice for a wedding band?
A wedding band's next client is usually a guest at this wedding. GigTag is made for that moment: guests scan the tag, see your act and send a booking enquiry, and on Pro you can invoice the couple who book. UniLink is built for sharing and selling from a bio link, which suits your social profiles.
