QRListy vs. a PDF Catalog
A PDF works everywhere, is easy to email, and doesn't depend on a website staying up. Its core weakness is staleness — every price change means a new export and a new send, and old copies stay in circulation with no way for you to know a customer is looking at outdated numbers.
| Feature | QRListy | a PDF Catalog |
|---|---|---|
| Always shows the current price | Yes — one link, always current | No — old copies stay in circulation |
| Mobile readability | Responsive, mobile-first | Pinch-zoom, fixed layout |
| Search | Search and category filtering | None, or text search at best, with no filtering |
| Update effort | Edit once, live in seconds | Re-design, re-export, and re-send every time |
| View analytics | Basic view tracking | None |
| File size / sharing friction | Lightweight link/QR code | Large files can fail to send on slow connections |
When a PDF is the better choice
If you need something that works completely offline, prints identically every time, or has to exist as one file entirely under your own control with no dependency on a live page, a PDF still does that. QRListy is the better choice once staleness — an old price still circulating — becomes a real problem.
