Local QR Code's answer

Local QR Code is built for QR codes used in printed local marketing. Its free static tools cover review links, PDFs, videos, vCards, and small URL batches. Paid dynamic campaigns keep the same printed QR code while you change its destination, replace a hosted PDF, and track scans by campaign, placement, and location.

mbuzz.co's answer:

Every attribution tool runs a model under the hood and reports its number like it came from physics. mbuzz is the only one that shows the model. Eight of them side by side, plus a SQL-like DSL to edit or write your own. You stop arguing about which channel works and start arguing about which model you should trust.

Local QR Code's answer

Choose Local QR Code when you need a straightforward QR workflow for review cards, menus, flyers, business cards, signs, or other printed material. The static tools are free and need no account. The $39/month Local Business plan adds up to 10 dynamic campaigns, 10,000 tracked scans per calendar month, editable destinations, scan reports, and hosted PDF replacement after a card-required 7-day trial.

mbuzz.co's answer:

Dreamdata, HockeyStack, and Northbeam all ship with a proprietary "data-driven" model you can't see inside. You pay $1,400–$5,000 a month to trust their math. mbuzz runs eight models you can inspect, lets you edit the logic in a SQL-like DSL, keeps your data exportable on every plan, and starts at $0. For a $1–100M company spending $20K–$1M a month on ads, that's the difference between renting an attribution tool and owning an attribution stack.

Local QR Code's answer

Local QR Code is for local business owners, marketers, multi-location operators, and agencies managing QR codes on printed material. It suits people creating review cards, menus, flyers, signs, business cards, PDF handouts, and location-specific campaigns.

mbuzz.co's answer:

Technical marketers, marketing ops, growth engineers, and data-savvy CMOs at startups and mid-market SaaS, DTC, fintech, and healthtech companies spending $20K–$1M a month on paid media. Specifically the ones who've stopped trusting their dashboard — who want to audit the math themselves, not hear "trust our algorithm."

Local QR Code's answer

Local QR Code was built around a practical problem: a printed QR code becomes expensive to replace when its destination changes. The product combines free static generators for stable links with paid dynamic campaigns for printed material that needs editable destinations, hosted file replacement, or scan reporting.

mbuzz.co's answer:

Years of wrestling with the limitations of various existing solutions, platform-inflated ROAS, and enterprise attribution tools that cost more than the budgets they were measuring. Every tool I tried picked one model and hid the math. I wanted to compare models, argue with them, and write my own rules — so I built one. mbuzz is the attribution platform I wished existed when I was trying to explain channel performance to a CFO who didn't believe the Meta pixel.
