From one driveway to a resort with a hundred residents.
The same system at a different scale. Here is what we do and what a project actually looks like.
- From $50 per month
- No cost per opening
- Module, updates and support included
Plans and pricing
Five plans. Pick yours by number of users.
Every plan is one flat amount per month, however often the gate opens. The more users, the lower the price per user.
These prices are for the WiFi-only solution
The TapIsla module connects through the WiFi network at your gate. Not included: the one-off installation, a MiFi hotspot or Teltonika 4G router if there is no WiFi at the gate, and SMS as an option. We quote those per site. See the options for internet at the gate.

Side by side.
Three ways to get a gate open, and what each one means in practice for your wallet and your admin.
| Remotes | SMS opener | TapIsla | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cost per opening | None | $0.15 each time | None |
| Monthly cost at 20 users | None | Around $360 | $50 flat |
| Cost per extra user | Buy another remote | None | None within your plan |
| Revoking someone's access | Ask for the remote back | Delete the number | One tap, instant |
| Losing it | Happens constantly | Lost phone = report it | Lost phone = block it |
| Seeing who opened it and when | No | No | Yes, per user |
| Works without mobile coverage | Yes | No | Yes, with WiFi at the gate |
| Range | A few metres | Anywhere | Anywhere |
Figures based on an indicative $0.15 per SMS and four openings per user per day. Work out your own situation with the savings calculator.
What we deliver
Six services, one system underneath.
TapIsla subscription
The subscription for a single gate: from $50 a month for up to 20 users, with larger plans up to 200 users and beyond. Module, updates and support included. No charge per opening. See pricing.
HOA and resort package
For buildings with changing residents and guests. Access per person or per unit, with a manager who runs the list.
Installation and wiring
We mount the gateway, wire it into your motor's dry contact, and test against your gate until it works a hundred times in a row. No WiFi at the gate? We also supply a MiFi hotspot or industrial Teltonika 4G router.
Converting your SMS opener
Have an RTU-style module that opens by text? It does not have to come off the wall for show — we only replace the way it receives its instruction.
Multiple gates or sites
Front gate, back gate, garage, barrier. One overview, with per-user rules for who goes through where.
Management and support
You are not calling us for every new tenant. And when something does go wrong, we look with you — remotely or on site.
How it goes
From first message to a working gate.
Usually days rather than weeks. Most of the work is in asking the right questions, not in turning screws.
We look at your gate
Which motor, what wiring, is there WiFi nearby, and how many people need access. Photos and a few questions are usually enough.
Quote and expectations
You get the one-off installation and the monthly price in writing, plus an honest estimate of what you are spending today.
Install and test
The gateway goes in beside the motor, wires into the dry contact, and we test opening from a phone on WiFi and on mobile data.
Users loaded, done
We load your first users and show you how to add or remove someone yourself. After that you do not need us — until you want us.
Frequently asked questions
What people usually ask us first.
Will this work with my existing gate?
Almost certainly. Nearly every gate motor has a terminal for a push button — a dry contact. That is where we connect. The brand and age of the motor then make no difference.
What happens if the internet goes down?
Then nobody can open it remotely until the connection is back. Your existing remote or key switch keeps working, because we do not remove anything. If you want an extra safety net, choose a second internet line for the gate, such as a Teltonika 4G router, or discuss SMS as an option.
Do I need SMS?
Not with a good internet connection. The module runs on WiFi and the user's phone uses WiFi or mobile data. SMS is an optional extra for sites where the connection at the gate is uncertain. Read why that is usually unnecessary.
And if there is no WiFi at the gate?
Then we supply a MiFi hotspot or an industrial Teltonika 4G router. It creates a WiFi network at the gate that the module connects to. See the options.
Does everyone need to install an app?
No. A shortcut on the home screen is enough; it opens a page with a single button. Handy for visitors and for anyone who does not want yet another app.
Can I give someone temporary access?
Yes. A cleaner who only comes on Tuesdays, a tenant until the end of the month, a contractor for two weeks. You set it, and it expires on its own.
What does it cost exactly?
There are five plans for the WiFi-only solution: up to 20 users $50 a month, up to 50 users $90, up to 100 users $140 and up to 200 users $200. Above 200 users we quote a custom price. See all pricing. Installation is a one-off and depends on your situation; you get that in writing up front.
Am I tied into a contract?
You rent the system monthly. We would rather you stay because it works than because a contract is in the way. Ask us for the exact terms.
How secure is it?
Traffic between your phone and the gateway is encrypted, and only people on the list can open the gate. Someone who learns your gate's number cannot get in. With an SMS opener, that list is your only line of defence.
Which islands do you cover?
Bonaire, Curaçao, Aruba, St. Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius. Technically it works anywhere with internet, over WiFi or through a MiFi or 4G router; for islands we do not visit ourselves yet, we will discuss what is possible.
Ready to take your gate off the meter?
Tell us the brand of your motor and how many people need access. You get a price and honest advice back — including 'keep what you have' if that is the right answer.
