d&b Tonio takes the functionality of QR codes to the next level. Is the fastest tool to transmit weblinks to a device in the world of audio and video. It picks up sounds you can‘t hear, but your device uses them to show you information and turn listening and watching a show into a truly immersive experience. Imagine you‘re at a concert of your favourite band. They are introducing a new song. You‘ll get the lyrics of the song directly on your smartphone and the right time and can immediately sing along. Or your favourite singer talks about what inspired him or her to write the song – and you receive photos that have never been shared with the media directly on your phone. Wouldn‘t that be amazing? And it doesn‘t stop there. When it’s crowded, getting announcements straight to your phone can be a life-saver (or maybe you‘ll just not miss the train, which of course could make all the difference). And people hearing impairments, can receive valuable information and be part of the same experience. And now it’s time: download the app, let the app listen and get all the information you need!

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: d&b Tonio at none against Trace's 2. d&b Tonio also leads on iOS requirement (13.0 vs 15.0). Trace's advantage is update cadence (every 3 weeks vs every 3 months). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
