WIGGWIGG vs TapCall

Name: WIGGWIGG
Author: WIGGWIGG

More than just a private number

TapCall is a second phone number app focused on privacy calling, with US and Canadian numbers available on mobile. It's simple and focused.

Why choose WIGGWIGG over TapCall?

Privacy beyond the call

TapCall focuses on private calling. WIGGWIGG extends privacy to your entire digital identity: encrypted passwords, compartmentalized contacts, and separate identities for different areas of your life.

Encrypted password vault included

TapCall protects your phone number. WIGGWIGG also protects the passwords and accounts tied to each identity. No need for a separate password manager.

Web and mobile access

TapCall is mobile-only. WIGGWIGG has a full web app, so you can answer calls from your laptop, manage passwords from a tablet, or text from any browser.

Canadian company, Canadian privacy laws

WIGGWIGG is a Canadian company subject to PIPEDA, with bilingual support. Your data is governed by Canadian law, not just stored behind a Canadian area code.

Multiple prioritized rules, not just business hours

TapCall offers business hours, DND, and forwarding, which is more than most consumer apps. WIGGWIGG goes further: per-contact-label rules and date-based holiday overrides on top of per-day-of-week schedules, with four action types (forward, voicemail, auto-reply, reject).

Five inbound checks per call

TapCall's filtering is a manual block list. WIGGWIGG runs five inbound layers per call (STIR/SHAKEN, neighbor-spoof, carrier reputation, community signals, your block and allow lists) and surfaces a per-call filter log.

Why invest in WIGGWIGG?

If you only need a private number for calls, TapCall is straightforward. But if you want your phone numbers, passwords, and contacts organized by identity with zero-knowledge encryption, WIGGWIGG is building that complete platform.

Privacy calling is step one. Identity privacy is the whole staircase.

TapCall hides your real number on calls. WIGGWIGG builds a complete private identity around each number: encrypted passwords, separate contacts, and compartmentalized digital life.

No investors, no compromises

WIGGWIGG is fully self-funded. The roadmap is shaped by paying users, not board meetings. When privacy and profit align, the product stays honest.

Encryption that doesn't stop at the call

TapCall focuses on private calling. WIGGWIGG uses zero-knowledge encryption for identity data: passwords, contacts, and personal details are encrypted on your device. Communications are server-side encrypted on Canadian servers.

Built in Quebec, built bilingually

TapCall isn't a Canadian company. WIGGWIGG is headquartered in Quebec, subject to PIPEDA, and built natively in English and French.

Routing that thinks per contact

TapCall has business hours, but a single time window applies to everyone. WIGGWIGG ties contact-label rules to schedules, so different contacts can route differently inside the same business-hours window, plus date-based holiday overrides that aren't possible with a single DND block.
