Tapni

Strong B2B provider with Frankfurt hosting and a broad enterprise feature set, though headquarters and development sit outside Germany

  • HQVienna, Austria (Tapni GmbH)
  • Founded2021
  • Target audienceSales and go-to-market teams, SMBs and enterprises that want to manage employee business cards centrally, capture leads and transfer them directly into the CRM, as well as individual users and professionals

Tapni is one of the B2B-oriented providers in our comparison and reaches an overall score of 82, 4th place. Founded in 2021, the company is operated by Tapni GmbH, headquartered in Vienna; development and day-to-day operations sit with Tapni d.o.o. in Novi Sad (Serbia).

Unlike pure single-user solutions, Tapni brings a mature team product: its own admin console at business.tapni.com, centralized employee provisioning and a connection to common identity and CRM systems. The score is made up of strong individual values for feature scope (88) and user reviews (90) as well as solid values for GDPR (84) and team admin (82); the support-language value (70) comes out lower.

Anyone looking for a solution with real team management who accepts the non-German headquarters will find a serious candidate in Tapni.

Strengths

  • A genuine B2B/teams offering with a central admin console (business.tapni.com), bulk provisioning via CSV/Google Sheets and directory sync (Microsoft Entra ID/Azure, Okta, Google Workspace, Slack), the basis for the team-admin score of 82.
  • GDPR-friendly data storage: all customer data on AWS in Frankfurt (EEA), DPA available, an appointed data protection officer (dpo@tapni.com) and referenced ISO 27001 conformity, decisive for the GDPR score of 84.
  • A broad enterprise feature set with SAML SSO (including RBAC and just-in-time provisioning), a public REST API (X-API-Key) and 16 integrations including seven CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho, Dynamics 365, Attio, Odoo), the basis for the top value in feature scope (88).
  • Complete capture and wallet features: NFC card including shipping, QR code, Apple and Google Wallet, an AI-powered paper business card scanner as well as lead capture forms with automated follow-ups.
  • Email signature management via the MailSign add-on with Office 365/Outlook integration and QR tracking, plus very good user response (Trustpilot 4.6/5 from around 750+ reviews), the basis for the review score of 90.

Data protection & server location

On data protection, Tapni reaches 84 points, a solid value carried by its data storage. According to the privacy policy, all customer data is hosted, processed and stored on Amazon Web Services with a Frankfurt hosting location; edge delivery via Vercel takes place exclusively within the EEA (Frankfurt region).

Tapni provides a DPA, appoints a data protection officer (dpo@tapni.com) and points to ISO 27001 conformity with certificates available on the website. The decisive reservation from a German B2B perspective: AWS is a US cloud provider, not a German host; the data center does sit in Germany/EEA, but the operator is subject to US law.

In addition, Tapni itself is not a German company (Vienna/Novi Sad). A SOC 2 attestation is not mentioned. As subprocessors, the policy names, among others, Shopify, HubSpot (EU servers), Sendcloud, Hotjar and Littledata.

For most GDPR requirements the setup is viable; anyone demanding true data sovereignty with a purely German provider and host has to weigh their options.

Enterprise readiness & integration

The B2B core is Tapni's strength and is reflected in the scores for team admin (82), enterprise integration (78) and feature scope (88). Through the admin console business.tapni.com, employee profiles can be rolled out via CSV or Google Sheets and reconciled via directory sync with Microsoft Entra ID/Azure, Okta, Google Workspace and Slack.

There are roles and permissions (RBAC), team templates as well as SAML SSO with just-in-time provisioning and Microsoft Entra ID integration. On the integration side, 16 connections are available, including seven CRMs (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Zoho CRM, Microsoft Dynamics 365, Attio, Odoo) as well as a public REST API with API-key authentication.

Named honestly, the limits include: SCIM provisioning and OIDC are not documented (only SAML is substantiated), and MDM support for rolling out to company devices cannot be substantiated. That explains why enterprise integration, at 78, sits slightly below the other B2B values; for most sales and GTM teams the feature scope is nonetheless clearly sufficient.

Tapni FAQ

Where is Tapni's data hosted and is the provider GDPR-compliant?

According to the privacy policy, all customer data is hosted, processed and stored on Amazon Web Services (AWS) with a Frankfurt hosting location; edge delivery via Vercel stays within the EEA. Tapni provides a DPA, appoints a data protection officer (dpo@tapni.com) and points to ISO 27001 conformity.

Note: AWS is a US cloud provider (not a German host), and Tapni GmbH is based in Vienna with development in Novi Sad, Serbia. A SOC 2 attestation is not mentioned. For most GDPR requirements the setup is suitable (GDPR score 84); for strict sovereignty requirements the non-German ownership has to be weighed.

Is Tapni suitable for use in teams and enterprises?

Yes. With 'Tapni for Business', Tapni offers a central admin console (business.tapni.com), bulk provisioning via CSV/Google Sheets and directory sync with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Google Workspace and Slack.

Added to this are roles and permissions (RBAC), SAML SSO with just-in-time provisioning, a public REST API and 16 integrations including seven CRMs. Not documented, however, are SCIM provisioning, OIDC and MDM. The team-admin score is 82, enterprise integration 78.

What does Tapni cost and is there a free plan?

We deliberately do not list specific prices, as they change frequently and are not transparently and fully available for all providers. Tapni uses a uniform, annually billed pricing model with volume discounts from higher user counts; the standard plan includes an NFC card including shipping, CRM export, team templates, analytics and priority support, while the MailSign PRO signature add-on is optionally chargeable.

There is no permanent free tier (only a short trial phase), and prices are shown exclusively in USD. It is best to request the current terms directly from the provider.

Does Tapni offer German-language support?

This is not documented. Documented are support via email (including support/sales@tapni.com), a chat/chatbot via HubSpot as well as priority support included in the plan. Whether this support is offered in German and whether there are concrete SLA commitments is not apparent from the available sources; this explains the support-language score of 70.
