Why TapQip
The first hello is easy. Keeping in touch is the hard part.
Business cards were built to be handed over, not to keep a relationship going. TapQip is built for what happens next.
The problem with paper
Where most introductions go to die.
Lost or thrown away
Cards end up in a pocket, a drawer or the bin, usually before anyone types them into a phone.
Out of date
A new title, number or email makes every printed card wrong. You reprint, or cross things out.
No idea who kept it
You never know who saved your details, and you rarely have theirs to follow up.
Side by side

What makes TapQip different
Five promises, in plain words.
Your card is yours.
A card you buy keeps working, subscribed or not. If you cancel a plan, your card still opens your profile with its core functionality. You don't rent your own business card.
Nothing is metered.
Taps, scans and profile views have no quota on any plan, Hi included. Share at a 500-person conference without watching a counter.
Start free.
Hi is a real free tier, not a trial. One identity, QR sharing, save-to-contacts and basic analytics, for as long as you like. Add a card whenever you're ready.
One card, different sides of you.
With Smart Connect, your personal and business profiles sit side by side. The person you meet chooses which one they want.
Your data, your control.
Export your leads whenever you like, and we don't sell your data. The privacy policy says exactly who processes what. Read the privacy policy.
Less paper
One card instead of a box of them.
A TapQip card doesn't go out of date, so there's no reprint every time something changes, and no stack of old cards to recycle. The other person keeps your details in their phone, not in a drawer. The card you have today still works after your next promotion.
Start free. Keep in touch for good.
Make your profile on Hi today, and add a card whenever you're ready.
