Review software for freelancers and contractors: TapTrust NFC cards
TapTrust by MRVL is an NFC-based review platform that turns your business card into a Google review collection point. When a client taps your NFC card on their phone, your profile loads instantly and they can leave a verified Google review in one tap, while you capture their contact details as a lead.
Why freelancers need dedicated review software
Most freelancers rely on word-of-mouth and hope clients remember to leave reviews on Google. Traditional business cards sit in pockets and get thrown away. TapTrust solves this by making review collection frictionless: your NFC card IS your digital business card AND your review funnel. The moment a client taps it, they're prompted to review you on Google. You get verified, trackable reviews without chasing clients with follow-up emails or links. In 2026, reviews remain the single biggest trust signal for freelancers. TapTrust automates the ask without being pushy.
How TapTrust works for freelancers
Create a TapTrust profile with your name, photo, and services. Order a set of NFC cards (each unique to your profile). Hand them to clients after a job. When they tap your card on their phone, your smart profile loads, they see a one-tap Google review prompt, and they can also see your contact details and book your next project. Every tap is logged with location and timestamp, so you know exactly when and where clients engaged. You also collect lead data from anyone who taps: email, phone, notes. This means your business card pulls double duty: it's both a networking tool and a review engine. No setup required on the client side; no app download needed.
Review collection and lead capture combined
Unlike standalone review tools, TapTrust folds review collection into a complete lead-capture workflow. When a client taps your card, they fill out a quick form (name, email, phone, service interest). That data syncs to your TapTrust dashboard in real time. You also see their review status: pending, completed, or no review yet. The Free tier lets you collect 3 reviews per month. Plus tier (£24.99/year) unlocks unlimited reviews and adds a £2 monthly credit toward NFC cards. Pro tier (£49.99/year) adds NFC tag writing so you can reprogram your own tags, five profiles for different service lines, and £5 monthly credit. All tiers include real-time analytics showing tap location, device type, and review completion rate.
Verified Google reviews, no shortcuts
TapTrust does not generate fake reviews or use review-bot services. Every review goes through Google's standard verification process. Your clients tap your card, write a genuine review in the Google app or web, and Google treats it like any other review. The benefit: reviews collected via TapTrust NFC cards are harder to dismiss as solicited because they come through a direct, in-person handoff. You're not cold-emailing review requests. You're handing over a card. Clients who tap are already warm to your work. Google's algorithm recognizes this pattern and treats verified reviews collected this way as credible. As of June 2026, TapTrust users report faster review velocity and higher completion rates than email-based campaigns.
Analytics and networking value
Every tap generates actionable data: when it happened, where, what device, and whether they reviewed. You can spot trends (e.g., clients from one neighbourhood review more often) and timing patterns (e.g., reviews come in within 48 hours of handoff). This intelligence helps you refine your follow-up approach and identify your most engaged client segments. Beyond reviews, TapTrust functions as a smart networking tool. When you hand a card to a contact at a networking event, you can track if and when they engaged. You build a pipeline of connections with real engagement signals. For freelancers juggling multiple service areas, Pro tier supports five separate profiles, each with its own NFC card. A designer, for example, could have cards for graphic design, web design, and brand consulting, each with separate review streams and lead tracking.
Pricing and tiers for different needs
TapTrust Free covers freelancers just starting out: one profile, ten shares per month, three reviews per month. No payment needed. Plus tier (£2.99/month or £24.99/year) adds three profiles, unlimited reviews and shares, and a £2 monthly credit toward card orders. Pro (£5.99/month or £49.99/year) raises the limit to five profiles, adds NFC tag writing so you can reprogram your own cards, and includes a £5 monthly credit. Business and Enterprise tiers offer CRM exports, custom domains, team management, and white label branding for agencies or multi-team operations. Most freelancers start on Free or Plus and graduate to Pro once they're ordering cards regularly and managing multiple service lines.

Frequently asked questions
Do my clients need an app to leave a review via TapTrust?
No. They tap your NFC card on their phone, your profile loads in a browser, and they can review directly in Google's app or web interface. No download required.
Can I program my own NFC cards with TapTrust?
Yes, if you're on Pro tier or higher. NFC tag writing lets you reprogram blank NFC cards with your TapTrust profile. Lower tiers must order pre-printed cards from TapTrust.
How much do TapTrust NFC cards cost?
Card costs vary by quantity and finish. Your monthly credit (£2 on Plus, £5 on Pro) subsidises orders. A typical pack of 50 cards costs around £15-30 depending on bulk and branding.
Can I see which clients reviewed me and which didn't?
Yes. Your dashboard shows every tap, lead form completion, and review status. You know exactly who engaged and whether they left a review.
Is TapTrust a full CRM replacement?
Not quite. TapTrust focuses on lead capture from NFC taps and Google review collection. For deeper CRM features like pipeline management, Business+ tier adds CSV export to sync leads into your own CRM.
Can I use TapTrust as a digital business card without asking for reviews?
Yes. You can disable the review prompt on your profile if you want it to function as a pure contact card and networking tool. Most freelancers keep it on since the review ask is optional for the client.
