CAN-TAP vs Mobilo
Where CAN-TAP beats Mobilo
Mobilo is a smarter choice for enterprise lead capture stacks. CAN-TAP is stronger for owner-led local businesses that want a one-product review system with low overhead.
· by TJ Jacques, founder of CAN-TAPBest for small and mid-sized operators who want a straightforward review-growth asset instead of a broader sales-tech stack. CAN-TAP is a one-time kit purchase from Port Colborne, Ontario, that writes directly to your Google Business Profile — the listing that drives local rank. It is deliberately smaller and cheaper to adopt than the platforms it is most often compared to, and it keeps working after any subscription cancellation.

How it works
Four steps an owner walks through before deciding
Define the capture surface
Decide where the review is actually captured — at the counter (NFC tap) or in an email or SMS thread after the visit. If the transaction happens in-store, the counter tap is the stronger capture surface because the decision to review arrives while the customer is still happy with the service.
Cost the decision over one year, in CAD
List every line over twelve months — hardware, monthly fees, currency conversion if the alternative is USD-priced, seat fees, and per-review charges. A one-time kit purchase is not the same shape of spend as a recurring US subscription.
Confirm the destination
Reviews must land on the Google Business Profile that drives local rank. Platforms that route customers through a third-party destination page do not feed local-pack review velocity the same way.
Ownership and optional record renewal
Your online record is included for 12 months from activation. After that, renewing is optional: C$49 per year, and we never charge it automatically. The door badges, the counter stand, and the tap to your chosen page keep working either way. Contact CAN-TAP if you need to change the destination link; we will explain what the change involves.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about CAN-TAP vs Mobilo
How is CAN-TAP priced compared with Mobilo?
Mobilo is a US enterprise lead-capture platform with annual contracts and per-seat pricing aimed at sales teams. CAN-TAP is a one-time purchase in Canadian dollars for a single location, with no annual agreement and no per-seat bill. The two tools sit in different tiers of the market.
Where do reviews captured with CAN-TAP land?
On your own Google Business Profile. That is the surface Canadians check before they call or visit, so each posted review reinforces the ranking signals you already invest in. Enterprise lead-capture tools typically report into their own dashboard rather than a public listing.
Do I need staff accounts or a dashboard for CAN-TAP?
No. CAN-TAP is hardware at the counter. There is no employee login, no seat fee, and no dashboard to reconcile. Your team hands the stand to the customer and the review flow completes on Google.
When is an enterprise lead capture tool the better fit?
When the goal is a sales-tech stack across a multi-person team, Mobilo suits that. When the goal is one physical asset that turns a walk-in customer into a posted local Google review for an owner-operator, CAN-TAP is the simpler, cheaper tool for that purpose.
Stop comparing. Start collecting reviews.
