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.

Frequently Asked Questions

I already bought Mobilo cards for my team. Are they wasted?
Usually not. If the cards are writable NFC, they can be re-pointed to Scaanme profiles free. If the vendor locked them, the QR and wallet passes cover sharing until you replace the plastic on your own terms.
Does Scaanme sell NFC cards?
No, and that is deliberate. Scaanme links any customer-owned NFC card free of charge and takes no hardware margin. The subscription is the product.
How do Scaanme and Mobilo prices compare over a year?
Mobilo: hardware first (19.99$ to 139$ per card), then pro 3$/mo after buying a card. Scaanme: 0$ hardware, Lite free forever, Pro 8$/month or 6.67$/month billed annually.
