Kauntech vs CamCard
On-device, DPDP-aligned scanning versus a cloud-centric contact manager.
CamCard, from INTSIG (the company behind CamScanner), is a mature, cloud-centric business card scanner and contact manager. Kauntech takes the opposite approach: every card is read 100% on your device and is never uploaded. If data residency, offline capability and DPDP Act 2023 alignment matter to your team, here is how the two compare.

Where CamCard is strong
CamCard is a mature, feature-rich product. Its cloud model is a genuine convenience for teams that want a shared, centrally synced card library across many devices, and it offers strong Salesforce/CRM export and solid large-scale batch capture at events. CamCard also encrypts the data it stores — so the honest difference is not security, it is where your data lives. CamCard keeps cards in its cloud (with server locations including China), while Kauntech keeps them on your device.

Does CamCard work offline?
CamCard is built around cloud storage and sync, so its full value depends on connectivity — cards are saved to CamCard's cloud servers and run through a cloud proofreading step. Kauntech reads every card 100% on-device, so it works with no internet at all and nothing is uploaded.
Where does CamCard store my business cards?
CamCard stores cards on its cloud servers, with stated locations that include America, Europe, Japan and China, and its vendor INTSIG is headquartered in China. Kauntech keeps cards in AES-256 encrypted storage on your own device, aligned with India's DPDP Act 2023.
Is CamCard secure?
CamCard does encrypt data with 256-bit encryption — we don't suggest otherwise. The meaningful difference is data residency and control: with CamCard your cards leave your device for the cloud, whereas with Kauntech they never leave your phone.
Can Kauntech send leads to WhatsApp and Google Sheets?
Yes — Kauntech routes captured leads to your CRM, Google Sheets and WhatsApp in under 30 seconds. CamCard offers Excel/CSV export and CRM sync such as Salesforce, but has no documented native WhatsApp routing.
Is Kauntech available on Android and iOS?
Yes, Kauntech is available on both Android and iOS, the same as CamCard.
