Are my QR code analytics and the shortlink analytics same?

Divsly QR code analytics and shortlink analytics aren't exactly the same, although they can provide overlapping information. Here's the breakdown:

QR Code Analytics

This dives deeper specifically into QR code usage. It tracks things like:

  • The number of scans
  • Scan location
  • Device used (Desktop, mobile ect..)

This helps understand how effectively your QR code is reaching your target audience.

Shortlink Analytics

This focuses on the clicks or visits from the shortened URL itself, regardless of how users reached it. It provides data like:

  • Total Clicks
  • Click location
  • Device (Desktop, mobile ect..)
  • Potentially referrers (social media)

While shortlink analytics can tell you how many people visited the destination link (which might be the same info from QR code scans), it lacks the unique insights QR code analytics offer about user behavior and engagement with the QR code itself.
