The report card
Best for an NFC business card with an editable profile
Tapni is an NFC card that opens your profile page when tapped on a phone, with a scanner for other people's paper cards and a team dashboard. The card is $29.90 once, but nothing is free, and team features cost $59.90 per user a year on top.
| Subject | Grade | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | A | $29.90 once for a standard card, less than a year of this category's middle subscription (about $77). Metal is $49.90. Team plans are $59.90 a user a year. |
| Free plan and trial | F | Nothing is free: no free plan and no trial. You pay for a card to start. |
| Features | C | NFC and QR sharing, an editable profile, a paper-card scanner, wallet cards and CRM sync. The Pro upgrade for individuals has no price in the page text, and SSO and SCIM are sold through sales. |
| Ease of use | C | No store rating on record. You build a profile and, for teams, set up CRM connections and bulk creation by CSV or Workspace. |
| Platforms and integrations | B | Web, iPhone and Android, with CRM links to Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics, Pipedrive and Zapier. No desktop app is listed. |
An A is worth 4 points, a B 3, a C 2, a D 1 and an F nothing. The GPA is the average of the five.

Keep it, or make your own?
Whether this is something you could build for yourself with an AI app builder, and what you would give up.
Keep it
The plain part of Tapni you could make: digital business card, qR codes and reports. What surrounds it you could not. The 3 things listed below take a company, not a weekend.
That makes this kind of software worth paying for, not this one in particular: 10 of the 15 other digital business cards grade higher. It costs $29.90, paid once.
What you could make
- Digital business card, qR codes and reports: an app builder makes these well.
What you could not
- A real app for iOS and Android. Something home-made would be a web page.
- It plugs into other products, Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics among them.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Tapni’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
