Kegs vs KegID and Kegshoe
Keg tracking with no per-keg fees. Scan or count kegs from your phone, on the same list as your menus and brews.
KegID and Kegshoe are dedicated keg trackers. PintDeck tracks kegs in the same system that runs your menus, tank schedule and club, and it never charges per keg.

When KegID and Kegshoe is the better fit

Do I need new tags?
No. Search the number stamped on the keg, or print a QR tag for each one.
Is there a keg limit?
No. Every plan with keg tracking takes as many kegs as you own.
Do I need the app to track kegs?
No. You can track kegs entirely on the web, and look a keg up by its number there. Scanning is the one thing that needs the PintDeck Business app on your phone.
