HiHello vs Tapni (2026): which should you pick?

Pick HiHello if

• Fits if you want a free card with a few paper card scans a month
• Works for teams of 5 to 100 that want signatures pushed to Gmail or Outlook

Look elsewhere if

• Skip it if you want a physical NFC card from the same company, as HiHello sells none and you'd write your card to your own tag
• Tight if your team is under five, since Business bills five users at least, $25 a month on yearly billing
• Not for you if you need CRM sync on your own: it needs Business, and SSO, SCIM and the contact webhook need Enterprise
• Pricey if you upgrade inside the iPhone app, at $9 a month or $84 a year against $8 and $72 on the website
• Watch out: Business stops at 100 users, and the lower per-user prices from 26 and 51 users aren't published

Pick Tapni if

• Fits if you want people to tap your card and see a profile you can change without reprinting
• Works for teams that want to manage everyone's cards from one dashboard

Look elsewhere if

• Not for you if you want to try before you buy, as there's no free plan or trial
• Pricey if you want metal, at $49.90 against $29.90 for a standard card
• Watch out: the pricing page shows a Pro upgrade for individuals with no visible price
• Watch out: SSO, SCIM and advanced CRM mapping are Enterprise features sold through sales
