QRtrav was created to help reduce lost luggage issues for international travellers by offering a free QR code tagging solution for suitcases and personal items. With our app, you can easily create a unique QR code that links to your unique QRtrav profile ID for smarter travel security. You can easily create your own, unique profile ID page, which works in conjunction with your own, automatically generated, personalised QR code. When you create a new profile on our app, you will be assigned your own unique QR code and all QRtrav accounts are automatically assigned their own unique profile ID number. Your profile ID number corresponds to your user ID page and works in conjunction with your QR code, which helps with authenticating entries. This is useful when the profile ID number of a lost suitcase or luggage is scanned/traced, as matching the unique ID number on the physical luggage to the online profile ID makes it a certainty that the owner of the luggage shown is indisputable. When your personalised QR code is remotely scanned by a device that can read the QR code (example: a smartphone) it automatically connects to your unique profile ID page. Your QR code is always connected to your unique profile ID page and can be tested by scanning it when logged out of your account. By printing and adding your personalised QR code to a physical item (or items) that you own, this gives you a secure and unique way for your personal belongings (that have your QR code attached) to be identified back to you (via a third-party scan). Your unique profile ID by default displays your name and email address, and for security it’s optional to add a contact mobile phone number to your account. When it comes to physical address information, users can login to their online account and easily add, change or delete the location address information depending on which physical address you decide to show. This feature is very useful if you’re about to go on holiday as you can input and show your holiday address details (hotel, apartment, country etc). Once you’re ready to return home then switching the details back to your main or home address is done in seconds by clearing the address information and then re-entering any address you wish to display. All unique frontend user profile ID information is randomised and ID data is concealed from ALL major search engines for increased security. Setting up your free QRtrav profile ID, downloading your QR code, printing and attaching it to your luggage or personal belongings takes no time at all. Create your free account today with QRtrav!
TagTrek

Never lose what matters again. Put a TagTrek QR tag on your luggage, keys or backpack. Anyone who finds it can scan it and chat with you anonymously. They don't need the app. No batteries, no GPS and no personal details printed on the tag. It's a smart tag that brings your things back home. HOW IT WORKS • Create a tag in the app and add details about your item. • Print the QR tag from a ready-made template and attach it to your belongings. • When someone scans it, you get an alert right away and can chat with the finder. ONE SCAN AWAY The finder only needs a phone camera. They scan the code, see the message you chose, and text you through anonymous chat. Neither of you has to share a phone number or email to arrange the return. BETTER THAN AN OLD-SCHOOL NAME TAG • Update anytime: change your details in real time without crossing anything out or reprinting. • You choose what's shown: reveal or hide your phone, email, WhatsApp or address on each tag. • Know the moment it's found: get a scan notification in real time. • Safer by design: your home address stays private, so strangers can't tell you're away. THREE MODES FOR EVERY SITUATION • Normal: for everyday use, with minimal info. • Traveling: hides sensitive details while you're on the move. • Lost: shows the most information, with a custom message and a reward so it comes back faster. PRIVACY FIRST • No GPS tracking. TagTrek never tracks your location. • City-level location only. Finders see only what you allow. • Anonymous chat. Finders don't have to say who they are, and neither do you. • Your contact details are hidden unless you choose to share them. TAG EVERYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT Checked bags and suitcases, carry-ons, backpacks, keys, wallets, laptops, camera gear, pet collars and your kids' school bags. TagTrek suits travelers, frequent flyers, students, commuters, parents, and anyone who has ever misplaced something they care about. MAKE IT YOURS Print your own luggage tags, labels and stickers from the built-in templates. Then give each tag a name, a message and the contact options that fit it. SIMPLE PRICING Start free with one tag and all three modes. Go Premium for unlimited tags and Private Mode. Premium is available monthly, yearly or as a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions come with a free trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account. You can manage or cancel your subscription in your App Store account settings. Lost and found, reinvented. Tag it, and TagTrek brings it home.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: QRtrav at none against TagTrek's 3. QRtrav also leads on iOS requirement (12.0 vs 15.1). TagTrek's advantage is update cadence (monthly vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
