getping! vs Stoop

ping! helps you share who you are and remember who you meet. Share your profile with a ping! ring, QR code, or link.

YOUR PROFILE Add your photo, role, company, location, bio, and the links you choose to share. YOUR NETWORK Keep the contacts you choose to add, record where you met, organize relationship notes, and plan follow-ups. Explore contacts with saved meeting locations on a map. SAVE, THEN CHOOSE TO SHARE Recipients can review a prefilled contact form and save it to iPhone Contacts. Sharing their information back to you is optional. When someone chooses to share, their details are added to your Ping network. YOU CONTROL YOUR DATA Choose which contacts to import. Optional AI assistance can be turned off in Settings. The app includes privacy controls, help and feedback, and account deletion. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create your profile. 2. Share it using a link, QR code, or programmed ping! ring. 3. Follow up with the people who choose to connect. A ping! ring is required only for the physical ring-tap feature. Your profile and network work without one. NFC sharing requires a compatible phone and internet access.

Stoop is a neighborhood noticeboard for real plans. Post something you are already doing this week: a coffee before the market gets busy, a slow loop around the park, a show you were going to alone anyway. One to three neighbors can ask to join. You read their message and decide who comes. That is the whole product. There are no profiles to browse and nothing to scroll for its own sake. A plan is a real thing at a real time in a real place, and it either happens or it does not. HOW IT WORKS 1. Post a plan: what you are doing, which day, roughly where, and how many people can come. Up to four total, counting you. 2. Neighbors ask to join with a short message. Not a form, just a message. 3. You accept the ones you want. Then you meet. BUILT SMALL ON PURPOSE Groups cap at four. Four people around a table can actually talk. Twenty cannot. MADE FOR TWO CITIES New York City and Austin at launch, down to the neighborhood. SAFETY Stoop is for adults, 18 and over. Sign in with Apple, Google, or a verified phone number. Phone numbers are never shown to other members. You can block or report anyone from a plan or a conversation, and blocking is immediate and mutual for signed-in accounts. Reports are read by a person within 24 hours. When a plan is confirmed, Stoop offers a one-tap way to send the details to a friend so somebody knows where you are going. Stoop is free.
