Taproo vs Blinq — questions

Is Taproo cheaper than Blinq?

For one person, often yes: you buy a Taproo NFC card once and its card page stays live on the Free plan, so there is no monthly bill unless you choose Pro at £9/month. Blinq's Free plan costs nothing too, but branding removal and extra cards need a monthly plan. Compare your own first-year total.

Does Taproo work with Apple Wallet like Blinq?

Not yet. Taproo wallet passes are in development and we will not promise a date. Today a Taproo card page has a one-tap Save contact button that writes your details into the phone's own contacts on iPhone and Android, plus a QR code you can keep in your photos.

Do Taproo NFC business cards work with iPhone?

Yes. Every iPhone XS and newer reads NFC tags in the background — unlock the phone and tap. iPhone 7, 8 and X need the free NFC Tools app open. Most Android phones on Android 10 or later read tags straight from the lock screen.
