Mobilo
US provider with a strong sales focus and an EU-hosting option, but a thin GDPR and reviews picture
Mobilo is a provider of digital business cards with NFC cards and QR codes, operated by Lulu Systems, Inc., headquartered in New York (1178 Broadway, New York, NY 10001) with further offices in Amsterdam and Perth. Founded in 2019, the company positions itself as a B2B solution with a pronounced sales and networking focus: lead capture, native CRM connectivity and a team/enterprise layer with central management are at the core.
In the overall picture of this comparison, Mobilo achieves a score of 66 out of 100. Its strengths clearly lie in product breadth: feature scope (90/100) and team/admin management (88/100) are among the highest values in the test field. The overall grade is held back above all by the points relevant from a German B2B perspective: data protection (50/100), German-language support (52/100) and the thin, in part weak, user reviews picture (40/100). Mobilo is thus a functionally mature product, but not one originally tailored to the German market.
Strengths
- Strong B2B/sales focus with native CRM integrations (Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive, Dynamics) as well as webhooks/Zapier for lead capture and automation
- Enterprise features available: team admin console, SAML SSO, HRIS-based provisioning/offboarding, role-based permissions and audit logs
- Flexible NFC card hardware (plastic, wood, stainless steel) plus QR and Apple/Google Wallet, usable app-free by recipients
- Regional Google Cloud hosting options (including EU data residency) and GDPR orientation, AES-256 encryption
- Inexpensive team entry price (paid per employee/year) with modular add-ons
Weaknesses
- US company without a German company location; no dedicated Germany hosting and no publicly documented data processing agreement (DPA) or ISO 27001 - requires scrutiny for GDPR-sensitive German buyers
- Contradictory/in part weak compliance evidence: SOC 2 type inconsistently stated (Type I on their own pages vs. Type II in marketing sources)
- Weak and thin B2B reviews picture (Capterra 2.3/5 with only 3 reviews, just one G2 review); criticism of tracking/redirect links and support response time
- Reported significant price increases on contract renewal; no clearly stated German-language support; MDM (Intune/Jamf) and SCIM not documented
Data protection & server location
Mobilo is a US company without a German company location; Lulu Systems, Inc. in New York is responsible. Hosting runs on Google Cloud with selectable regional options, so that EU data residency is possible.
A dedicated Germany hosting is not stated, however, and the encryption (AES-256 at rest, SSL/TLS in transit) is standard, but not a differentiator. On the compliance evidence, the picture remains blurry: the SOC 2 information is contradictory (Mobilo's own team/integration pages cite SOC 2 Type I, some marketing and enterprise sources SOC 2 Type II), an ISO 27001 certification is not documented, and a publicly available data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR could not be verified and must be requested from the provider.
For GDPR-sensitive German buyers, Mobilo therefore requires scrutiny: while an EU hosting option does exist, the interplay of a US company location, a missing public data processing agreement (DPA) and inconsistent certification evidence explains the data protection score of 50 out of 100.
Enterprise readiness & integration
At the enterprise level, Mobilo is broadly positioned. The team solution offers a central admin console with field locking, role-based permissions, team statistics and audit logs, which carries the high team/admin score of 88 out of 100.
As an identity feature, SAML SSO is available; onboarding and offboarding run via HRIS-based provisioning. For integration into existing IT landscapes, however, gaps remain: SCIM as a standardized user-lifecycle protocol is as unverified as an MDM connection (Microsoft Intune, Jamf); the distribution of managed device fleets via MDM is thus not documented.
This pushes the enterprise integration score down to 72 out of 100. Strong, by contrast, is the connectivity to sales systems: native CRM integrations with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Microsoft Dynamics, as well as webhooks, Zapier and an API, cover common lead and automation workflows.
This is complemented by lead capture, analytics, custom branding, email signature management, as well as flexible NFC card hardware (plastic, wood, stainless steel) plus QR code and Apple/Google Wallet.

Mobilo FAQ
Where is Mobilo's data hosted and is it GDPR-compliant?
Mobilo hosts on Google Cloud with selectable regional options, so that EU data residency is possible; a dedicated Germany hosting is not stated. The operator is Lulu Systems, Inc., headquartered in New York (USA); there is no German company location.
Mobilo advertises a GDPR orientation, but neither a publicly available data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR nor an ISO 27001 certification could be verified. A data processing agreement (DPA) should be requested directly from the provider before signing a contract.
The data protection score stands at 50 out of 100.
What does Mobilo cost for teams and companies?
The Teams plan is paid per employee per year including the admin panel. Important B2B features such as CRM integration and lead enrichment are paid add-ons (each at an additional per-employee yearly cost). NFC cards are incurred separately as one-time costs (Classic, Wood and Metal variants at different price points).
All prices are in USD; larger organizations receive individual enterprise quotes. Reviewers report price increases of around 34 percent on contract renewal.
Does Mobilo offer SSO, SCIM and CRM integrations for enterprise teams?
Mobilo supports SAML SSO and HRIS-based provisioning for on- and offboarding, as well as a central admin console with role-based permissions, field locking and audit logs (team/admin score 88 out of 100). Native CRM integrations exist with Salesforce, HubSpot, Pipedrive and Microsoft Dynamics, complemented by Zapier, webhooks and an API.
Not documented, by contrast, are SCIM provisioning and an MDM connection (Intune/Jamf), which limits the enterprise integration score to 72 out of 100.
What are Mobilo's user reviews like?
The B2B reviews picture is thin and in part weak: on Capterra, Mobilo reaches 2.3 out of 5 stars, but from only 3 reviews; on G2 there is merely a single review without a reliable overall value. A Trustpilot profile exists with several hundred reviews; a specific score was not retrievable during the research.
The app store ratings, with 700+ iOS and around 200 Android reviews, are more numerous and more positive than the B2B portals. Because of the low external validation, the user reviews score stands at 40 out of 100.
