vFound vs Tapcoat

Tapcoat describes itself as a digital cloakroom system for events and venues that replaces cloakroom tokens with a QR code, NFC identifier or wallet pass on the guest’s phone.

vFound Checkroom gives each guest a numbered QR ticket on their phone, photographs each item and, with vFound Lost & Found (sold separately), closes the night into it. Checkroom is one yearly price per venue.
