The Official Linxy App® From Linxy Media, creators of Linxy Marks™ and LinxyFrame®. Everything in the Linxy App runs on Linxy Fusion™ (patent pending): your iPhone vouches for you. A glance or a tap proves it's really you, and your details stay with you. LINXYPASS™ Passwordless sign-in for websites that offer LinxyPass: tap to sign in and approve with Face ID or Touch ID, or with one tap on your Apple Watch or home screen. No passwords to store or remember, no forms to fill. Safe and private. LINXY MARKS AND LINXY TAGS™ Linxy Marks are invisible codes inside printed photos, art, packaging and signs that make them scannable with the Linxy App. Linxy Tags are pre-marked labels you assign content to; do the same with NFC tags right in the app. Videos, messages, offers and files open instantly in the app. - Create Linxy Marks, Linxy Tags and NFC tags right from your iPhone. Advanced opens the full Linxy web platform, signed in automatically, where Linxy IQ™ codes are made. - Secure tags and Marks open only for the people you choose, confirmed by face or fingerprint. - Change where any of them leads, anytime. DYNAMIC LINKS AND PLAYLISTS Dynamic Links (short links) behind every touchpoint decide what each scan shows: content in rotation, in sequence, by date, by place (geofenced), by language or device, or personalized to one recipient. A link or Mark can hold a playlist of video, audio, photos and web pages, built from My Files, your iPhone or links; audio keeps playing on the lock screen. BIO PAGES Build a bio page in the app: pick a theme, add links, buttons, photos, a teaser video or a playlist, crop photos to fit, and share it. Make a set of pages from a CSV file. SECURE UPLOAD Collect photos, documents and video from anyone with a private link; they need no account. Files are scanned before you see them and arrive in the Linxy App as they land. LINXYFRAME AND SCANNABLE ART AND PHOTOS Create photos and art that play video, music and messages when scanned, and change what a print shows anytime without reprinting. LinxyFrame, a modular display system, shows content with a tap or scan. CONNECTIONS AND COMMUNITY Connect to community happenings, occasions and invitations by scanning or tapping: - Private messaging, photos, files, voice and video calls, with call history. Save photos and files from a conversation. - Choose exactly what each Connection sees. - Communities with posts, comments and a shared album; guests pick photos and Linxy Print Station prints them at the event. LINXY EVENTS™ Attendees can connect with the event, its sponsors and each other. - Connect with a scan or a tap. Share interests with tags and interest-specific posts; a feed for checked-in attendees. - A shared photo album with automated Print Station printing for commercial venues. - Discover events near you and watch host videos. - Smart Tickets & Passes: Linxy-marked tickets that work before, during and after the event, with a backup ticket image. Transfer a ticket with a tap. - Ticket sales for organizers: sell tickets, print tickets and wristbands, and manage sales and refunds. - No QR codes needed: signs, event print, floor graphics, tickets and labels connect through Linxy. INVITATIONS AND OCCASIONS Weddings, reunions, celebrations of life and more. Open a designed invitation with the host's video and RSVP in the app; replying brings you into the occasion's community and shared album. Organizers create the occasion, design the invitation, manage guests and message them from their iPhone. LINXY GATE Q™ For event organizers and staff: Linxy Gate Q checks Linxy-powered tickets at the door, Access Granted or Access Denied with the reason, with an iPad console and offline scanning that syncs later. ALSO Optimized for iPad. Linxy App Clip opens a Mark without the full app. Recovery Marks get you back in if your iPhone is lost. Help Center built in. The Official Linxy App is published by Linxy Media LLC. Learn more at linxymedia.com.

Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: Linxy at 5.0 against Frintz's 4.4. Linxy also leads on device support (4 vs 2). Frintz's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and monetization model (free vs ad-supported). On price, update cadence, in-app purchases and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
