BappaCards vs. HiHello: A Straight Comparison
HiHello captures the contact. Bappa captures it - then an AI tells you who they are, what you have in common, and exactly how to follow up. One platform. One subscription.
You traded paper for pixels. You still have a follow-up problem.
HiHello solved one piece of the puzzle - visitors tap, their info lands in your phone, no more paper sign-in sheets. But then what? The contact sits in your phone. Or your CRM. Or a spreadsheet. You still have to:
- Research who they are manually
- Figure out what you have in common
- Decide when and how to reach out
- Write the follow-up from scratch
- Remember to actually send it
The capture problem is solved. The follow-up problem is still entirely on you.
Capture → Understand → Follow up → Scale
Bappa handles the full arc of a professional relationship:
| Stage | HiHello | Bappa |
|---|---|---|
| Capture | Tap-to-share card | Tap-to-share card |
| Understand | Manual research | AI pulls full profile in 90 seconds |
| Follow up | You write it yourself | AI gives talking points, common ground, approach |
| Scale | Individual tool | Teams tier - shared pipeline, leaderboards |

Three things HiHello can't do for you
1
Research before the follow-up call.
You met someone at a networking event last week. HiHello saved their name and email. Before you call them, you Google them, scroll LinkedIn, check Instagram - that's 20 minutes of manual work per contact. Bappa's AI does it in 90 seconds.
2
Know what to actually say.
HiHello hands you a contact and wishes you luck. Bappa hands you a compatibility score, 3 talking points, what you have in common, and the best angle to approach them. The first call stops being cold.
3
Scale across your team.
HiHello Business exists, but it's still a contact directory. Bappa Teams gives you a shared pipeline, leaderboards, and collaborative workflows - your whole team working the same relationships.
Why switch to Bappa
Built for follow-up, not just capture.
HiHello's feature set ends where the real work begins. Bappa's starts there.
One subscription covers the full arc.
Cards + Connect for $12/mo. No stitching HiHello to a CRM to a research tool to a scheduler.
The AI is the point, not an add-on.
HiHello is a card with some extras. Bappa is an AI relationship engine with a card as the input layer.
Switching from HiHello takes about 10 minutes

Frequently asked questions
Can I keep my HiHello card while I try Bappa?
Yes. Order your Bappa card at bappacards.com/products and run both in parallel until your new card arrives. Subscriptions (Premium $5/mo, Connect $12/mo) include a 7-day trial on first subscribe if you want to test Connect's AI layer before committing.
Does Bappa work on iPhone and Android?
Yes. The tap-to-share works on any NFC-enabled phone (most phones made after 2015). Recipients don't need the app.
What happens to my contacts if I cancel?
You can export everything as CSV at any time. We don't hold your data hostage.
Is Bappa more expensive than HiHello?
Bappa Premium is $5/mo (same tier as HiHello's paid plan). Connect (with AI) is $12/mo - cheaper than stitching HiHello + a CRM + a research tool together.
Can I use Bappa without the physical card?
Yes. The digital card works standalone. Physical NFC cards are optional (one-time purchase, $50-$100).
What if I have a team?
Teams tier is coming soon. In the meantime, each team member can have their own Cards + Connect subscription and share contacts via the standard export/import.
How is the AI research different from Googling someone?
It's structured, fast, and actionable. You don't get a pile of links - you get a 1-pager with common ground, compatibility score, and talking points, in 90 seconds.
Stop capturing contacts you won't follow up with.
