Remember every show you've ever been to. Stubz turns the concerts you've seen into keepsakes worth keeping. Type in the artist and the date, and Stubz finds the show, then makes an old-school ticket stub, a vintage concert poster and the set list from that night. FIND YOUR SHOW Search by artist and date. Stubz looks up the venue, city, tour and set list on setlist.fm, and pulls in the opening acts too. Small local gig not listed? Type it in yourself. YOUR TICKET STUB Every show gets a classic printed ticket with the venue, date and your section, row and seat, or general admission if you were in the pit. A POSTER IN ANY ERA Pick an era and a genre, then choose your poster: 1950s jazz letterpress, 1960s psychedelic, 1970s punk ransom note, 1980s neon, a split-fountain gig poster, 1990s grunge, country woodblock or heavy metal. THE SET LIST See every song from the night, plus the opening acts' sets, from setlist.fm. SHARE IT One tap sends the ticket, the poster and the set list link by text, email, Instagram or anywhere you like. YOUR SHELF All your shows live on a shelf, grouped by year, so you can relive a night anytime or edit the details later. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No accounts, no ads, no tracking. Your concerts stay on your iPhone. Show details and set lists provided by setlist.fm. Stubz is not affiliated with setlist.fm or any artist, venue or ticketing company.

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Stubz at every 3 days against Discogs's every 3 weeks. Discogs's advantage is chart position (#130 vs unranked). On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
