TapIn vs. QR Codes: Why It Matters for Businesses and Everyday Users

QR codes had their moment, especially during Covid. From restaurant menus to event check-ins, they became the bridge for touchless interactions. But let’s be honest—QR codes are clunky, outdated, and full of friction.

TapIn is here to change that. By replacing the scan-and-wait process with a single tap, TapIn transforms everyday interactions into instant, secure, and personalized experiences.

For Businesses & Organizations

QR codes may be cheap to print, but they create hidden costs:

• Lost time when users fumble with their cameras.
  
  
• Frustration when codes fade, smudge, or won’t scan.
  
  
• Risk when bad actors replace your QR code with a fraudulent one.
  
  
• Lack of data — QR codes don’t provide verifiable, fraud-proof attendance or engagement.
  
  

Why TapIn Wins for Businesses

• Frictionless check-ins – Faster than scanning, no cameras or logins.
  
  
• Always reliable – No risk of codes fading or being swapped out.
  
  
• Fraud-proof – Each tap creates a one-time server session with a regenerated digital fingerprint, ensuring authenticity.
  
  
• Actionable insights – TapIn can log verifiable interactions for better reporting and analytics.
  
  
• No kiosks or hardware – Reduce costs and simplify operations.
  
  

For quick-service restaurants, universities, event organizers, or workplaces, TapIn isn’t just a replacement for QR—it’s an upgrade to a smarter, more secure personalized engagement system.
