Mobilo Alternative without Buying Hardware
Mobilo starts with buying their card. Scaanme starts free with the NFC card you already have, or with no card at all.
Mobilo bundles decent software with mandatory hardware: cards run 19.99$ to 139$, then the subscription starts. The honest gap for our region: hardware-first: you must buy their card; no Arabic, no store or booking. Scaanme flips the model: the software is the product, the Lite plan is free forever, and hardware is optional because your QR code and wallet passes already share your profile. Own an NFC card from any vendor, including one you bought for Mobilo? Link it to Scaanme free. Scaanme never sells hardware and takes zero margin on it. You also get what Mobilo does not offer: full Arabic RTL, a WhatsApp store with zero commission, QR menus, and bookings.

Why software-first beats hardware-first
A card is plastic; the profile is the product. When the profile carries your languages, your store, your menu, and your CRM, any tap or scan from any hardware works. Locking the software to one vendor's plastic means paying again every time the plastic changes.
