  • Target audienceSMEs, teams, and companies in the DACH region with high data protection/GDPR requirements

wazzl (wazzl GmbH, founded in 2020, based in Wörnitz/Bavaria) is a German provider of digital business cards based on NFC and QR code, with a separate business solution for teams and companies. The profile can be used app-free in the browser; Apple Wallet and Google Wallet are supported.

The overall editorial score of 75 out of 100 points places wazzl solidly in the mid-range of the DACH providers we reviewed: its strengths lie clearly in data protection (86/100) and feature scope (82/100), while value for money and enterprise integration (each 64/100) fall behind due to missing public terms and limited identity depth. The medium data situation (confidence: medium) and a still thin number of independent reviews explain why wazzl, despite its clean GDPR setup, does not quite reach the enterprise-oriented leaders of the comparison.

Strengths

  • Strict GDPR/data protection positioning: development and hosting exclusively in Germany on its own servers under ISO 27001, encryption at rest/in transit, keys held only by wazzl
  • Data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR incl. TOMs, subprocessors, and deletion periods on request - relevant for B2B compliance
  • Enterprise feature scope: central admin console with roles (admin/manager/user), groups, corporate-identity templates, analytics, lead capture, open REST API, and SAML SSO via Microsoft Entra (documented integration)
  • Broad CRM integration (Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, Zapier) plus Apple/Google Wallet and app-free use in the browser
  • German-language support across multiple channels (phone, WhatsApp, email, chat); positive Trusted Shops rating (4.64/5)

Weaknesses

  • No publicly available business/per-user prices - terms only after contact, complicating comparison and calculation
  • No proof of SOC 2 and no documented MDM support (Intune/Jamf) - relevant for larger IT organizations
  • SSO documented only as SAML via Microsoft Entra; OIDC and automated user provisioning via SCIM not verified
  • Thin independent review situation (OMR only a few reviews; no G2/Capterra); user criticism of sometimes hard-to-reach support, image upload/configuration bugs, and high repurchase prices for physical cards

Data protection & server location

Data protection is the load-bearing pillar of wazzl and, with 86 out of 100 points, justifies the provider's highest category value. According to the provider, development and hosting take place exclusively in Germany, specifically on its own servers with no cloud dependency and under ISO 27001.

The data is encrypted at rest and in transit; according to wazzl, the keys are held exclusively by the provider, so a cloud provider has no decryption access. A data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR is available on request, including technical and organizational measures (TOMs), information on subprocessors, and deletion periods.

This means wazzl meets the central criteria of German B2B compliance. To be honest about the limit: ISO 27001 conformity is a provider statement about its own operations; a SOC 2 certification going beyond ISO 27001 is not documented.

For purely German or EU-oriented procurement this is usually uncritical, but for internationally regulated corporations with a SOC 2 requirement it can be a gap. For comparison: oneVcard also hosts in Germany but explicitly does not hold its own ISO 27001 certification and instead relies on certified subprocessors, whereas wazzl emphasizes the ISO 27001 operation of its own infrastructure.

Enterprise readiness & integration

Beyond the pure business card, wazzl addresses classic team and company requirements, which supports the feature-scope score of 82 out of 100. The business solution offers a central admin console with a three-tier role model (admin, manager, user), groups, corporate-identity templates, analytics, and lead capture.

For system integration, an open REST API, CRM integrations to Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, and Zapier, and SAML SSO via Microsoft Entra are available, for which a dedicated integration guide is published. Bulk provisioning is supported.

On enterprise depth, however, it becomes clear why the enterprise integration category reaches only 64 out of 100 points: SSO is documented exclusively as SAML via Microsoft Entra; OIDC and automated user provisioning via SCIM are not verified, nor is dedicated mobile device management (Intune/Jamf). For large, centrally IT-managed rollouts with automatic on- and offboarding, this means missing building blocks that enterprise-focused competitors such as Lemontaps or Spreadly cover - both document SCIM in addition to SAML, with Spreadly additionally offering OIDC and HRIS connections to Personio and BambooHR.

In team administration itself (72/100), wazzl is solidly positioned, and the role and group structure is practical; however, hard limits such as maximum user numbers or bulk import volumes are only partially documented publicly.

Pricing & plans

We deliberately do not list prices on digitale-visitenkarten.de: they change frequently and are not transparently and fully available for every provider. For wazzl’s current terms, please refer directly to the provider’s website.

wazzl FAQ

Where does wazzl host the data and is the provider ISO 27001 certified?

According to the provider, development and hosting take place exclusively in Germany, specifically on its own servers with no cloud dependency and under ISO 27001. The data is encrypted at rest and in transit, with the keys held exclusively by wazzl.

A data processing agreement (DPA) under Art. 28 GDPR is available on request, including TOMs, subprocessors, and deletion periods. A SOC 2 certification going beyond ISO 27001 is not documented.

Does wazzl support single sign-on and interfaces for companies?

Yes, wazzl offers SAML SSO via Microsoft Entra with a published integration guide, an open REST API, and CRM integrations to Salesforce, HubSpot, Microsoft Dynamics, and Zapier. Not verified, however, are OIDC, automated user provisioning via SCIM, and dedicated mobile device management (Intune/Jamf).

For large, centrally IT-managed rollouts with automatic on- and offboarding, some enterprise building blocks are therefore missing that Lemontaps or Spreadly (both with SCIM), for example, cover.

What does wazzl's business solution cost?

wazzl does not publish per-user prices. The business solution is offered as an annual license only after prior contact, with a minimum quantity of 5 profiles and a recommendation from around 10 profiles. For individual users, there are shop products as one-time purchases (NFC cards priced depending on the product, gross prices incl.

VAT) as well as a free trial profile. Because of the missing list prices, a specific quote with term and notice periods should be obtained before signing a contract.

How should wazzl's rating and support be assessed?

wazzl achieves 4.64/5 from 832 reviews on Trusted Shops (of which 143 in the last 12 months). The additionally advertised OMR rating of 5.0/5 is based on only very few reviews and is not reliable; G2 or Capterra ratings are not available.

German-language support is reachable via phone, WhatsApp, email, live chat, and help center, but no public SLA is stated. Some users occasionally criticize hard-to-reach support as well as configuration bugs with image upload.
